One possible female Common Scoter on Aller Moor (Sowy River) this afternoon, 100 meters west of Aller drove bridge. Present from 3-5pm until i had to leave. Only had my phone on me hence the poor pictures.

Scoter still present today at 10.30. It was to be seen a little further up the River Sowey just past the first left bend, about 600yds from the Aller Drove bridge.

Scoter seems most at home on the Sowy River. Spend over an hour watching and waiting around 5ish this afternoon. Just pick a spot and wait for her to come passed.

Well done Max for spotting this.

No sign late-morning, between Aller Drove Bridge & next bridge to the west.
43 Cranes on Aller Moor, flew towards WSM, and a single Swallow flew east.

Was there yesterday pm about 2.30 on the NE side of bridge about 300 mts past the bend. This morning at 12.30 it was right down on the bend on the SW side towards Stathe .
