I counted 132 Pochard, which is my highest Whitlingham count. From the WeBS spreadsheet you gave me it looks like the highest site count is 143 (no higher counts on BirdTrack, my records or those that others have sent me), so that is pretty good, especially crammed into one pool.<br /><br />Thanks for the offer, although given previous experience I would probably rather be there at night as part of a group!
