Scaup by Graham Catley

Two juvenile Scaup have been present on the Water's Edge country park at Barton for the last week of October 2001. Both birds can be seen well but do not associate together, one has of late been keeping company with a juvenile Tufted Duck giving good comparative views of these two notoriously tricky ducks. The enclosed photos show both of the juvenile Scaup, adult females are more obvious and easier to identify.
