Roger Lane Reports.

"Tide was very high (Harvest Moon, Equinox), which doesn't help birders !
Not a lot around : G.Heron & Bar-Headed Goose on Pond; 2 x Grey-Wags on Eastern cliff stream, guess the Bay was best with 6+, Gannets (2 diving just off Killyvarder Rock); 8+, Curlew flew east, and more importantly, the 2 x Scoter were flying around the Bay, several times, and they are indeed both COMMON Scoters (no white wing-patch as in Velvets)."

Thanks for the report and also the technical stuff Roger.
Glad you managed to get the Scoters sorted out.
