Seen first yesterday on lake at Warfield House but bird disappeared before I could get a definite ID. Genuine 'wildness' may be in doubt due to time of year (according to DJB). The site can only be viewed from private land which I jointly own. If anyone wants to see it e-mail me though I would have to fit visits around work (including some evenings) and the bird might not show.
