Scaup - 2012 Most Wanted

Finally, after reading DMgHX Birding i took my 4th attempt at the Drake Scaup over at Stubbers OPC this morning to find it immediately sitting with the Pochard and Tufted Duck on the front lake over in the sheltered far side.

Luckily finding it straight way meant i wasnt there long and got to the office nice and early.
