Tufted duck

I’ve not been a very good blipper in the past few days. I’m just not sure where the time goes. Friday nights are always a pain as I’ve just done four back shifts, but have to rearrange my body clock by setting my alarm for seven tomorrow morning for a day shift. It could be worse, I’m thankful to be able to work and I really quite enjoy what I’m doing for the main part. Last year at this time, I had all my Xmas presents wrapped, this year, they’re not even bought yet!

Before I went to work this afternoon, I had a look at Gunknowe Loch. It was so cold, but lovely and bright. I had to check the RSPB identifier to find out the breed of this wee guy. I thought he was a moorhen or coot, but he’s a tufted duck.
