Nice stuff... especially yesterday, kaj.

Never managed to catch up with any scoters of any type, yet!

Hi Kajrowe,
looks like you're seeing some great birds up there. If you're on holiday I hope you are having better weather than back here in the North West. It's hardly stopped raining for a week!

Wow! Well done on seeing all those birds! Also, you're only a bit younger than me and I've never seen any of those birds! Ok, perhaps the gull and swans, but other than those none!

I have been lucky enought to get all three possibles in the UK and interstingly enough, I got surf scoter just along the coast at Gullane Point....with a glaucous gull flying over.
