The Baikal Teal was seen from 11:30 AM - 1:00PM (at least) on Wed, 4-13, at
the usual spot on 277th in Kent.

A harrier pass did not put the marsh up, but got everybody swimming around
alertly.

The bird stayed in full-view for 20 minutes, then retreated into the
background grass, emerging every few minutes at the very back.

He was located, interestingly enough, directly on the original line between
the arrow in the grass and the distant low hide of black netting.

When scanning intently, the mustard cheeks were the last to come into view,
I found. The three plume-like feathers spread out along the side were the
most visible feature. Also the bird is significantly larger than a
Green-wing.

Don't know if this has been mentioned here before or not, but the Mullarney
et al. Birds of Europe
says:

'N and E Siberian species. Declining. Very rarely seen in Europe, and
arguably doubtful whether any record involves a genuinge straggler.'
