Last year we had a Pintail duck who overwintered for the first time on the River, I am pleased to report that he has returned today. These rare ducks have only around 50 breeding pairs in the UK, although we have about 28,000 that winter in the UK from Iceland Scandinavia, Russia and the Baltic states. He has joined our local ducks for the feeding that I gladly provide throughout the winter. The pintail has beautiful patterns on his feathers, and these will get more pronounced as winter heads to spring, welcome back Mr Pintail !
