John has found a duck with long pointed bill amongs the Garganeys. It looks like a Merganser.

I must make it clear that the birds list was the efforts all participants on this slow day.

A Tern sp was spotted by Christina Chan

Yes, thanks again to everyone for what was really rather a slow day's birding. Going through my "flock of duck" shots I think I've found a merganser of some sort.

Hi Winnie, Sammy, Christina, Pippen, Peter and Michelle.

Thanks for your clear and promptly posted photos, and sharing the experience.
The photos we captured on the trip make it seem more interesting than I remember!

In Scotland we have the "Loch Ness Monster". Every few years someone claims to have photographed it,
and long debates are held about what blurry photos show or don't show !

As my pictures are not very clear, I think we'll just have to leave this as a "Mystery bird".
