Eye of the Storms

A break in the wild seas today, but the winds getting up again this evening. Fewer gulls to be seen at Cransdale as a result, but a number of groups of Common Scoter along the coastline locally, with the group off Cransdale holding a single Velvet Scoter (HEM).
A few Red-throated Diver predictably off the head and Long-tailed Duck passing through.
