Hi all
at the sewage ponds yesterday I was trying to find the Flock 
B'wing to show a visitor. I thought I saw it in flight (poor view, 
through the windscreen) and pointed it out, but then the thing 
landed on the water, just like the teal it was with. I was a bit taken 
aback that I'd made such a blunder, when a few seconds after, it 
took off from the water and landed on the bank, revealing itself sure 
enough to be the Flock Bronzewing. Seems that it's been hanging 
around with the ducks too long. Actually it's surprising how duck-
like it looks on the land as well.

Cheers
Niven
