Wandering around in the dark, with a camera, watching some dodgy bird mating. Would you like to accompany me to the station sir Wink

I popped to Attenborough yesterday morning. It was dark when I arrived but soon brightened, and I was soon watching a pair of Goldeneye displaying and then eventually mating. Its a shame it wasn't bright enough for decent photos as it was a great spectacle that I'd never witnessed before.

During the display which went on for a good while the male was tilting his head back and forth, rising out of the water and flapping – really giving it some to impress her – while the female had her head flat down in the water.

I do have some dodgy photos which I'll try and post.
