The
good run of birds continued today with the Observatory`s first ever Smew being
found; a long overdue
record! It was first found on the old I.C.I. reservoir at 09:10 but soon flew
off towards the river. It was relocated on the main pool at the Nature Park in the late afternoon but
again seemed wary
and soon flew off with two Pochards.
