Drake Long-tailed Duck

The drake Long-tailed Duck that has been on Hornsea Mere since late October last year continues to develop its full adult plumage, but it is not coming as close to the shore as it did last year. All my sightings have been distant, including this morning, but at least it was visible through the camera lens so I managed to get a few photos.

Here are a couple which have been severely cropped to make them more than just white blobs:

Here is the last photo I took of the bird on 15 Dec 2017 for comparison:
