American Wigeon at Lintrathen Loch

A lucky break at Lintrathen today when the American Wigeon stayed in view just long enough for a couple of quick photos before it swan out of view at the top of the loch. The Pochards were closer and I got them in some sunlight before they drifted away as well. The final and terrible photo of a Spotted Redshank was grabbed before going on the ADBC Club Outing on Sunday when we had a lucky sighting of the elusive Great White Egret at St Cyrus.
