Wildfowl at Marden Quarry

This old limestone quarry is now a nature reserve and hosts a variety of wildfowl. While some of them are of dubious origins, many are genuinely wild birds although most are very tame. Some rare ones come here occasionally, including a Lesser Scaup in the winter of 2011-2012 which brought many of the local twitchers along to see it.
