Velvet Scoters (Little gull)

Short sea watch at SCP this morning (Feb 6th): bright conditions with NE winds: unsurprisingly quiet save two Velvets (east) at 07:55, something (at least) and quite close in/good scope views... 
I then went over to Western Yar where a (2cy) Little Gull was found a couple of days ago: still there favouring the 'scrape' near Mill Copse. Always nice, and at least the second island LG this winter, on the back of the adult found at Atherfield (Ash Hill Farm) last month. 


Little Gull - Feb 6th - Mill Copse scrape

At least one Spoonbill (distant) - as many as five have been seen this winter.
