Lesser Scaup - Tynemouth Boating lake

Lesser Scaup Aythya affinis
I thought I would be blogging about the Turtle Dove at Big Waters and the Hen Harrier at Prestwick Carr having bagged both early this afternoon, but the reported Lesser Scaup was re-found in Tynemouth.

    Have had three visits to catch sight of the Hen Harrier, but nearest I got was tonight when it briefly showed but I was looking in the opposite direction -again.
