Monikie and Forfar Loch, Ducks and Grebes

I'd seen what I'd thought was a 1st winter Scaup Drake at Monikie on Thursday in terrible conditions and went back on Friday to get a photo and confirm my ID. Also around were 5 Pochard Drakes and a Pochard Duck. Later at Forfar Loch the Great Crested Grebe numbers had reached 7 birds and one pair briefly were displaying and there are now 5 Lesser Black-backed Gulls.

Videos of the birds below are on the side-bar to the right via YouTube.
