With so few raptors moving at the Cromwell Valley Park hawk-watch, Andy Smith and Mark Scarff decided to take a short ride and check on a report of large numbers of ducks at Loch Raven reservoir above the dam on Saturday the 21st.  They saw a large raft of ducks, mostly Ring-necked, with smaller numbers of Am. Wigeon, Redhead, Bufflehead and Mallard.
