Getting the run around at Lee Valley

We walked the valley again today picking up an unexpected year tick with a pair of Red-crested Pochard viewed from Grebe hide looking over Holyfield lake. We walked around the the weir and completed a slow lap of Seventy acre lake but failed to add any new birds for the year list. Three Smew are present and two have been seen by others today but we seem to be missing them on our visits. No Bullfinch yet and no Bittern despite another reported sighting today. Year list now 131
