Teal sized, strong head pattern, darker "cap" and back of neck, neat scalloped pattern on back, greyish speculum, pale wing coverts, strong mottling on flanks and breast sides, black legs, all-dark bill, which was relatively broad towards the tip.

Nice one Rob. Cracking post. I like the notes, it makes the sighting (and the post) a bit more personal than with a photo. Good stuff.
Cheers Mark -it was a great bird, presumably the same one that has been seen over the last few weeks :)
