After leaving my "post" at Cowm Reservoir I got a call from Kevin about the adult male Pochard. As I was on Teeside at the time it looked I might miss a good bird for Cowm,but as twilight descended I managed to get back and watch this cracking bird for Whitworth! Many thanks for the call Kev.Will post tommorrow night if its still there.

Regards,

Dave Ousey.
