The poor photo below appears to show the Black Scoter seen recently at Lunan Bay, it was taken on 22/10/2014 about 0900 when there wasn't a great deal of light and at 100 times zoom as it was so far out. I had seen the bird through my scope and was sure I'd found the Black Scoter but since I'd never seen one before I've been cautious about this. Two friends with many years experience have said they agree it's the Black Scoter so I've published it here. The photo has been slightly noise reduced, cropped and brightened a touch.
The bird on the right is the Black Scoter (I believe)
A late Lesser Black-backed Gull at Newburgh, Fife. Or a Scandinavian migrant??

Tree Sparrow in my garden. There might be more than one but our Sparrowhawk is around.
