Fen Drayton for the afternoon, partly to try out my new tripod, and partly to just get out. Quiet until dusk when I found (I guess re-found, one had been reported a few days before) a female type Long-tailed Duck as it swam in front of the Gull roost I was watching. The roost held two adult Yellow-legged Gulls and a 2W Caspian Gull as well as a 1W Herring Gull with white primaries.
