Snow goose Llay and surf scoters Llandulas


A very dodgy blue phase lesser snow goose was showing well with greylags and Canada geese at Llay pool in North Wales today. Later we called in at Llandulas for a couple of hours over the high tide and had distant views of a couple of surf scoter with a few thousand common scoter, but no sign for us of any velvet. I say distant, and they were, but after a while the surf scoter flew and were as good a view as any I've ever seen on this coast, and they were the best I've ever seen of this species in flight.
