Red-crested Pochard (Netta rufina)

Status at Longham Lakes

Potential vagrant, but more likely an escape from a wildfowl collection. Surprisingly, just the 1 record:

1. 1 eclipse male on Longham Reservoir South, 25th September-4th October 2013.
2. A pair on 17th May 2015 (Trevor Thorpe, Robin Trundle).
