Following the good news from Lyndon Lomax that the GWT was still present I made a quick dash to Newport before dusk set in, the journey taking only 20 minutes.
Parking in the lay-by I crossed the road and the American duck was in plain sight only 40 yards away, firstly on the water and then on the mud before it flew with a couple of Eurasian Teal behind an island and out of sight.
It did give me enough time to get some images that given the gloom I was quite pleased with, this had to have been my easiest 'twitch' ever.
I've seen a number of the species over the years and although I have some photos in my archives this bird probably gave me my best opportunity........
