Surf Scoter

New record – subject to acceptance by DBRC

27 Oct – A female or immature was found diving in the Landing Bay, close to the Jetty, during the late afternoon but flew off east past Rat Island after a short time, having been spooked by a Great Northern Diver (Andy Jayne). If accepted, this will be only the second record for the island, following one on 16 November 1956 (also a female/immature).
