Velvet Scoter compilation
19.1.2012 Kingsdown.
Around midday I stopped off at the rifle range for a quick look at the ocean and found this. At first all I could see was the white diagonal streak but eventually it flew showing the white secondaries of a velvet scoter. I also think it's a juvenile because of the pale belly.
It was always very distant so this is the best I could manage - similar in quality to my little auk pictures really. PM would be proud.
