Stocksbridge - c30 ducks passing high WNW at 21:00hrs last night, 6th July, were PROBABLY Common Scoters, but I didn't have my binoculars to hand (a sin, I know!).

    Good numbers at the coast currently Martin - I have seen flocks of several hundred at Spurn on last couple of weekends. Were they flying in a long line?

    Yes John but about ten at the back of the line appeared to form a rough V.
