I spent the morning at Dungeness and then on the way home I looked in on New Hythe.I wanted to see if I could get a better look at the duck I saw there Sunday on the Streamside lake.Although I didn`t manage to relocate the duck,I did see a Smew and a Goosander,which made a great start to the New Year.
