Some more repeats............

Last Monday we were in Oshamanbe and Yakumo.............


I was surprised to see the Black Scoter still there.................and it looks better on seaweed than concrete.

It swam out and then came back again and waddled onto land.............

I could finally see why it was stuck in the harbour.............it has an injury to its stomach. It's been there for a while so obviously it can feed itself but it doesn't look like it can live on the open sea at the moment.

The Long-tailed Duck was also in the same place as the last week................

Not much else around. A flock of Redpoll at Oshamanbe, that's about it.

Grey Starlings have arrived...............

I tried a few Glaucous Gull BIFs at then end of the day................

Very few birds in town the last week.........................hopefully the spring migration season will kick in very soon................
