Harlequin Duck Twitch

Me and my old mate Lewis went up to Aberdeen this morning to chase after the Harlequin Duck that's been there for a while this winter.

There's been less than 20 records of Harlequin in the UK. Although not as flashy as the last one (North Uist 2013), this was at least very approachable. It showed very nicely down to about 20ft! Got a couple of record shots below (will check through my other photos when I get home!).

The Harlequin Duck - good views!

Also had a really smart couple of Dipper on the river that came nice and close.
