Scoter?
Can someone help me with this. i think it is a Common Scoter but i might be right off the mark. I took this here in Orkney a few weeks ago on a fresh water loch.
Cheers Daf. |

Common Moorhen. Notice the white stripe on the sides, and the red bill with the yellow tip. Scoters also have a much differently shaped bill.
Best, Jim
