Drake Goldeneye and a pair of Wigeon at Bib Knowl Dam, with an adult Herring Gull at the duck feeding point

Fairly mild and relatively bright but again very quiet. There's been an adult Herring Gull knocking about close to the duck feeding point for quite a while, so today I decided to try to get it on film at last. Hardly any small birds around and nothing from the hide.  As I approached Bib Knowl Dam, I spotted the drake Goldeneye close to the wall and nearby a pair of Wigeon were present.
