It was drizzling steadily when we went ot look for the Harlequin Duck at Adàwe Crossing. But the forecast for the rest of the week was even worse, so we used bags to protect our cameras and headed out.
We spotted the subject straight away downstream of the bridge and moving away farther and farther. We split up, each going down a side of the river hoping for it to come close. It drifted slightly closer to Bill's side, but Barbara was closer to the Common Goldeneyes.
Suddenly, the Harlequin took off and headed upstream. We hurried back to the bridge where we saw it fly right up past us to the upstream side, then drift back down.
We chatted with Derek and Janet, then decided to go to Fletcher, but not before talking with Sami and Lynn who were just arriving.
At Fletcher, we saw the usual suspects, but not the Fox Sparrow that others had seen.
