Some Harlequin Ducks
We were out east yesterday and the Kittiwakes were still around...............
One of the ports had 4 Harlequin Ducks...............
The light was too bright for a change. For high contrast birds like drake Harlequins you need soft late afternoon light..................not bright midday sunshine like today.
The females are much easier...............
Also in the port were 3 Brent Goose, a lone Black-necked Grebe, several Goldeneye and lots of gulls of 7 species..............
