Male Lesser Scaup was at Cosmeston again this morning (thanks to Lol Middleton for spotting it again). I managed to get some reasonable ‘in flight’ shots but at the limit of the cameras range. There are 5 shots at:

It was on the east lake with the tufties and obliged by taking off for the photos – and then landed on the west lake. It was there when we left at 11am, over the far side again with the tufties.

Nice shots showing the difference in wing pattern Andy.
Thanks John.
Photo 19 in the set I guess is pretty unique – getting a lesser scaup and a tufty in exactly the same orientation will not happen too often. Credit to Lol for finding this one!
