October 4, 2009 - more duck excitement

More excitement on Kilkeran Lake today in the form of a tufted duck (125), and even more unusual (for the lake, anyway), a female common scoter! The coot was still lingering too. Little on the migrant front tho, with 2 redpolls and a merlin at the head, 1 siskin over, 2 chiffchaffs and a blackcap in the bushes, and 3 buzzards still knocking about the top fields.
