Well spotted both! I hadn't noticed that but it is certainly smaller and looks different from the others. There were two Little Grebes on Ringtone the previous day. JM.
Looking at the e mailed blown up version the smaller looking duck is a juv Wigeon but further away from the camera plus the angle it is at makes it look much smaller. Bit of an optical illusion.
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,

Is that a Little Grebe top picture lower front ?
I thought it was a Teal
