Re: Shoveler and Wigeon !
I was there at lunchtime (12.30-1.15) John, no sign of them then either. As well as the shelduck, there were a couple of teal upstream of Red Bridge, large flock of woodpigeon (several 100) with a few stock doves among them, plenty of pied wagtails, yellow wagtail, m pipit and 3 yellowhammer.
