A few unusual birds locally in the last 2 days, which I’ve managed to catch up with.
Offshore at Sully bay there were 2 Common Scoter together with a fem type Velvet Scoter. Pretty unusual to get Scoters this far up the channel except after storms. They were rather too distant for photos.
Then at Cosmeston there was a female Red-breasted Merganser, found late afternoon yesterday. It was on east lake and very active, diving frequently. I also noted around 6 Little Grebes, and on W lake there were 2 fem Shoveler and a male, and a pair of Gadwall.
