Even more decent was a female Long-tailed Duck in the channel to the north-west of the levee as you walk away from Casey Forebay to the Bay. The bird was about half a mile along here. I can take no credit for finding it. A couple wanted some help with a strange looking duck and at first I thought it must be a Wigeon with aberrant white colouring. It was only on an afterthought that I considered Long-tailed Duck. And sure enough everything fitted. (And if the couple are reading this, the length in National Geographic does include the male's tail. Sibley sensibly quotes two lengths.)
