This morning there was an impressive flock of 21 drake common scoters on the Flash. This was my second largest flock of the species here following 36 females and 1st winter birds in November 2022. Flocks of drakes are typical at inland sites at this time of year as the males leave the females on the breeding sites with the young and head to the sea to moult. They were finally flushed by a boat mid-morning and left west. Also today, eight common terns.
