Mandarins in flight. As they were flying around, a Sparrowhawk came over and the Mandarins turned and chased it into the hedge, and then landed in the water nearby and seemed to be looking into the hedge as if searching for the Sparrowhawk.

Eccleston Mere 18:00-19:15
No sign of the American Black Tern this evening, but there were an astonishing 11 Mandarins on the mere! Ten of them were in one flock, whilst the 11th (presumably the one that's been here for a week) kept to itself. Also this evening 2 Kingfishers and 1 Buzzard.
