Re: Common Scoter
Holker Lane 21/3 8-845pm
One group of *Common Scoter over about 2013 with couple of other possible groups but more distant with breeze making it difficult.
Also Tawny Owl, Teal, Oystercatcher, Lapwing, Moorhen, Heron, Snipe and Jackdaw
*Scoter takes me to 108 species for the year.
