Scaup at Conwy RSPB

As Julian has said earlier, a nice drake Scaup was present at Conwy RSPB this morning although it did appear to be quite oiled as you can see from the pic below.

Other birds included up to 4 Common Sandpipers, 2 Lesser Whitethroats and a handful of Chiffchaffs and Willow Warblers. A Sedge Warbler made an appearance and a brief view of a young Reed Warbler was also nice to see.

House Martins and a couple of Swallows drifted past and atleast 40 Black Tailed Godwits were also reported earlier in the morning along with a female and juvenile Redstart.
