Middleton Lakes RSPB - Green-winged Teal


A very wanted lifer for me today at Middleton Lakes Green-winged Teal a bird I had always wanted to see, I love birds that look similar that I know have to study to see the difference and at first glimpse as always i'm like it just looks like a Teal but then Dave pointed out the difference and in the end it did stand out but was made easier by the fact there wasn't any other Teals but the Green-winged does stand out with the presence of a vertical white bar on the side of the breast :)

Also today we had stunning views of the Grasshopper Warbler I have fallen in love with these birds could listen to there singing all day, there so beautiful and usually being very hard to see in the reeds, we were very lucky to have such a showy one :) 
Also nice view of Black-tailed Godwit, Avocet and some nice summer Migrants Common Whitethoat, Lesser Whitethroat and Reed Warbler :)
