12 Wigeon and 2 Shelduck

Up early this morning in rather dismal conditions, but pleased to find 12 Wigeon on the water as I approached from the Beach.  However they didn't stick around long and flew off high to the NW at 07:10.  Continuing on to Shaw Moss, there were 2 juv. Shelduck on the pools, possibly from yesterday's party, but where have they been since? (They were gone a little later when Simon looked but then he had them again in the evening).
