3 Goosanders

Extremely dull and overcast this morning, turning to light drizzle.  Not much to report except the three Goosanders were again on the reserve. I sat in the hide for a while hoping they would come a bit closer but they didn't.  The light was hopeless, and I don't think there's much hope for the next week or so - the forecast over the Christmas period is for overcast conditions and rain. I don't know when we'll next get some decent light.  

Anyway, here's a couple of really bad shots, at the limits of the camera.
