Scaup at CWP..........

16 Dec - A dry, mild day with some sunny intervals. A scan of pit 29 gave views of the female Scaup still present......distinctive rounded head shape compared with the accompanying Tufted Ducks, combined with fairly extensive white at the base of the bill. Several pairs of Goosander seen around the park, with Chiffchaffs and Goldcrests in the bushes.
