Aythya bonanza at Leighton Moss

At Leighton Moss today, the aythya feast continued with the male and female lesser scaup showing well, often alongside the female ring-necked duck, from Lower hide. This was my first multi-sighting of lesser scaup and only my second female following the bird at Woolston Eyes last month.
