I was in Wexford in Ireland in a couple of
years ago with a very experienced local birder when we spied some ducks on
some wetlands about 300 metres away. We scoped them up and had no trouble
identifying them - bar one. Visibility was not good with showers and
wind. After about 20 minutes of head-scratching (no, not lice) we suddenly
realised that it was a decoy.

I like this thread
- I'm sure we've all been there - like my 10 minutes carefully stalking a
rusty tin can bobbing about in reedbeds (when I lived in the UK thinking that
I'd tracked down an unusual duck like a Ferruginous)!
