This individual was not photographed in 2006 or 2007 (as far as I know but not too late to submit) but it was present during the following dates:

 4th to 12th April 2006 

9th December until 3rd April 2007

4th November 2007 until 10th April 2008

21st October 2008 until 30th March 2009

So the arrival date of 11th October this year is the earliest arrival date recorded yet.

This drake was present between 16th March and 4th April.  It seems very likely that this is the same individual that was present a year ago (see below).  To view the details of Ring-necked Duck records in Bucks click here.
