Swifts, Tufted Ducks

After yesterday's warm and sunny conditions (when I didn't go out), this morning was wet and fairly dull, but quite mild.  A good number of Swifts were about over the fields behind the hide, hawking with Swallows.  On the water, two pairs of Tufted Duck were new in; otherwise quiet again with nothing remarkable to report.
