The grey on the mantle has a frosty look to it as there is some white coming through. It also has a more elegant look about it. A good place to look for it is to look up the none public side of area 34. The merganser, Buffleheads and Smew ten to favour this area when not feeding. The primary projection is quite easy to see, there are four redheads in the collection at least.<br /><br />I am glad the blog has been a help to you.<br /><br />Tonyregents park birds.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857667944318385224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16314333.post-85874946600884689232012-02-10T19:14:11.118+00:002012-02-10T19:14:11.118+00:00Hi Fraser.

I've never seen a Smew so popped out today to see if I could find the wild redhead you've posted about. I went to areas 34 & 35 and saw a total of three 'white nuns' and two redheads. Is there an easy way of determining if I saw the wild bird? I couldn't tell if any of the birds had leg rings or clipped wings.<br /><br />Thanks for a really informative blog and keep up the great work!<br /><br />DavidDavid Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006250255840676735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16314333.post-46540765292871335632012-02-10T10:25:16.517+00:002012-02-10T10:25:16.517+00:00Hi Tony, today (Fri 10th), a Lapwing was on the ic...Hi Tony, today (Fri 10th), a Lapwing was on the ice near the rail ditch at 09:30 - appeared to have an injured leg.
