What a brilliant day out at Abberton Res in Essex, the bird was proving difficult late morning but did give itself up eventually.

Canvasback at Layer Breton causeway, Abberton Reservoir, Essex. SO difficult to find and stay on, in what felt like gale force wind!

Timed it just right with the Abberton Res Canvasback - refound just as we arrived after going awol late morning. Nice to also see another rarity on site in the form of one Christopher Bridge!

After a very brief sighting late morning, then 2 minutes worth at 1310 and a solid 25 minutes of viewing from 1410 I managed some good scope views of the Canvasback at Abberton Res today despite the 40mph winds at times #Essex

I managed 4 hours at Abberton today & a few good birds seen - drake Canvasback, 3 Smew (1 drake), Black-throated Diver, 2 Velvet Scoter, 30 Goosander, 10 Scaup, 2 Green Sand, 3 Marsh Harrier & loads of other wildfowl. Also first Corn Bunting of the year.

Great day out at Abberton yesterday with Sam O'Donnell Robs Birding Thomas Wildlife Videos Noah Evan Atkinson and others. Highlights Canvasback, 3 velvet scoters, shag, little and casp gull, GN diver, scaup and an otter!!

A total of 620 Pochard seen across the two causeways at Abberton Reservoir today is by far my highest single site count of this species, just a shame that the Canvasback had gone awol with no sign in several hours of searching. Redhead Smew and 5 Red-crested Pochard the best.

A few more phone-scoped shots of the Canvasback from Abberton Reservoir this morning, was fascinating to watch its gular patch bulging while displaying to the female Pochards

I must admit I was pretty excited when I found this drake Canvasback at Flixton gravel pits in north Suffolk late this afternoon. However, investigative works by Alex Lees yielded some pretty frustrating results….(1/4)

Good morning troops 🤍
Seen it just once in my area... I'm not exactly sure it's #Redhead or Canvasback? Any idea??

Have a great day 🦆❤️

Trip out with A today for early morning PALID SWIFT at Winterton-on-Sea 💥 Lifer 379 ✔️ then over to Abberton Reservoir for the CANVASBACK, Lifer 380 💥 😁👍

A return to Abberton in the hope of better light for photography was sadly unsuccessful, a real shame as the forecast was good and the Canvasback showed well.

Lumac.Pixels MotherDuckie How about a Canvasback?
