The adult female Surf Scoter showed well for almost all! who attempted today, best viewed from Fishguard Fort.
1 moulting adult Great Northern Diver in the harbour too.

From the coast path north of the haven, 3 Velvet Scoter associating with a pair of Tufted Duck, staying slightly further out than the flock of c120 Common Scoter, all birds drifting north.
