Saturday 24th December
As of today, a redhead (female/immature) Smew is back at Longham Lakes, found independently by Chris Parnell and George Green. Last winter there were up to 6 on Longham Reservoir South, and the first one appeared on December 1st.
A great Christmas to all Longham Lakes-watchers.
Steve Smith didn’t find it, he was just passing on information from George Green. Incidentally I found it independently at about the the same time but just took longer to put the news out!
