Shelducks.
At
Potter Brompton Carr the ♂ Garganey was still hanging around and also here we

The
Seamer Tip pool area had a Short-eared Owl hunting the rough ground to the
north of the pool, a ♀ Red-breasted Merganser was seen flying west over Seamer
Tip, a Jack Snipe and 6 Common Snipe were present on the Taylor Way pools and
on the main pool we had 2 Pink-footed Geese, 2 Shelduck, 2♂ Gadwall and a pair
of Wigeon.
In
Cornelian Bay we had 3 Red-throated Divers, 11 Common Scoter and a Velvet
Scoter and to the south in Cayton Bay there were a ♂ Eider and a ♂ Long-tailed
Duck. To the north of Scarborough at Scalby Mills the Wigeon are now down in
