American Wigeon in Fife

Although this American Wigeon drake had hidden behind an island on Gaddon Loch near Collessie in Fife I did manage to get a photo for my records. The Hawfinches were high in a tree and I only got a few quick photos before they flew off. The Fulmar and GBB Gull are likely the last photos from my NEWS surveys unless I decide to do a few second surveys before the end of the month.
