It is a very rare winter migrant from America. Although the weather was fine, due to rough wave, we were unable to find the Surf Scoter.
We, however, enjoyed photographing Red-necked Grebe and Black Scoter which were relatively close in a small fishery port.
Other species, what we saw were:
1. Temminck's Cormorant 2. Great Cormorant 3. Horned Grebe 4. Red-throated Loon 5. Velvet Scoter 6. Common Teal 7. Eurasian Wigeon 8. Common Pochard 9. Greater Scaup 10. Common Goldeneye 11. Velvet Scoter 12. Herring Gull 13. Black-tailed Gull 14. Sandering 15. Common Sandpiper 16. Common Buzzard 17. Black Kite 18. Water Pipit
