This is Watson, officially named today (two years of winter residency, especially when he should not be here, brings entitlement to a name).

This is by far the earliest arrival - arrived with a female Wood Duck but has ditched her and gone back to his more typical girlfriend, a female Mallard (sticks to her like glue).

A real character and local celebrity.

Hooded Merganser yesterday.

Maybe this is where the expression "crestfallen" comes from?
