News of 2 SURF SCOTER in Devon at Weston ! a 1st winter Male & Female had me dashing off down there this morning to see if I could see them , & after a wait of four & a half hours I did get to see them .
There were about 90 COMMON SCOTER in little flocks & it took quite a while to pin the 2 SURF SCOTER down .
Other birds seen were 7 RED-THROATED DIVER , 1 GREAT NORTHERN DIVER
3 SHAG & 1 FULMAR
And at the car park a FIRECREST .
I then went on to Colyford & had 7 SKYLARK , 6 FIELDFARE , 4 MEADOW PIPIT ,
& a WATER PIPIT in the field by the sewage works .
