Mire Lake - Common Scoter!

After the worst possible show of passage birds during September and October, astonishing that I should lay two County bogey birds to rest during the space of five days, in that 'quiet period' called November!!

The Wrekin Firecrest was followed by a Common Scoter at Mire Lake. The light was apalling, the bird very distant, strictly for the record but it's another one edging towards the County life-list 200!
