Long-tailed Duck

Called up at Blackstone Edge Reservoir and walked along the Dam where the Long-tailed Duck was showing quite well, though not as close as I'd hoped. It was initially spending a lot of time diving, where it would appear for a couple of seconds only to dive again for 20 or 30 seconds.  However, after a while it stayed on the surface, preening and showing well, even getting slightly closer.
