Lesser Scaup time

with the end of the shooting season fast approaching there should be more diving duck appearing on the patch and the chance of an oddity; on February 13th 1995 the first Lincs Lesser Scaup turned up on pit25 and was seen on three successive evenings coming in to roost with large numbers of Pochard and Tufted Ducks which feed on the Humber off New Holland; amazingly there have been two Lesser Scaup on the patch as this fine drake spent a couple of days on Waters' edge from April 28th - 30th 2004
