Monday, 20th: The Flash

I also spotted what I thought was a Scaup earlier today (4.45) on Priorslee Flash and it has taken me 3 hours since the sighting to go through my ID books to check. There were clear white markings at the base of the bill and not much sign of a tuft which is why I thought it was a Scaup. It was probably just a Juv. Tufted but someone else will probably need to confirm this with a photo (they are similar at this stage)...
