No sign of the lesser Scaup at Cossie this morning but there appeared to be a good candidate for a ring-necked duck:

Tufted duck sized, looked a bit stockier, grey flanks, black back, no tuft (just a bump) and a bill with a distinct white band at the base and another behind a large black tip. It was with a large group of tufted ducks by the board walk in front of the cafe, east lake. Didn’t seem overly tame. I have very bad field sketch but didn’t think to get a photo.

Might be worth checking out by the cossie regulars.

Here is the appalling field sketch done in a bit of a hurry as was on my way to a meeting

Only other thing of note there was a single shoveler (east lake)
