Lesser Scaup
A bit distant and taken into the sun so a bit rubbish, but still a stonking bird to photograph.
At Lisvane & Llanishen Reservoirs. This place is gaining celebrity status lately after attracting many rarities in recent months.
The first accepted record of this rare visitor from North America was only in the 1980s. Most arrive in winter but several individuals have stayed on beyond this.
