Scoter tip off

I got a tweet on the way home from fellow Newark resident Simon, aka @CrackedNature, about three black ducks on the River Trent at Staythorpe (viewed from Farndon), which he thought were Common Scoter. I had a little walk down there before supper, and indeed they were - two males and a female. Unfortunately they flew off north no sooner had a taken the lens cap of my camera, having seemed settled (and not been bothered by a 4x4 and some dogs). Check out Simon's blog for a picture.
