Pedley Birders Blog: Allestree Park 19/01/2008
http://pedleybirder.blogspot.com/2008/01/allestree-park-19012008.html
Sunday, 20 January 2008. Just after 12 noon a female Eurasian Sparrowhawk. Flew over our house and landed on a TV ariel opposite allowing for good views. Its the first time I have seen a Sparrowhawk around our area. After we had lunch me and my dad went to a local park which normally has wintering flock of Mandarin Ducks. But after 2 attempts already this year I hadn't got my hopes up. We first went to the small lake first and after scanning all the very active Tufted Ducks. View my complete profile.

Pedley Birders Blog: American Adventure. Mediterranean Duck
http://pedleybirder.blogspot.com/2008/02/american-adventure-mediterranean-duck.html
Friday, 1 February 2008. American Adventure. Mediterranean Duck. On Sunday news broke of a drake Ferruginous Duck. On Shipley Lake in the old American Adventure Theme Park. It had been there for eight previous days. Drifted by at one point. The fudge duck as it is commonly reffered to did wake up for about a minute and even had a little swim but soon went back to its origonal sleeping place. A flock of Siskin. Were calling in a nearby wood but I was unable to see them because of the sun.
