Velvet Scoter

On Saturday 14 December 2024, after several successive brief seawatches failing to see any Little Auks, only seing a Brent Goose which flew north, it was especially gratifying to see 3 Velvet Scoter at the front left of a flock of some 500+ strong Common Scoters off Gorleston Cliffs, still just south of Gorleston beach cafe where they had been seen by Rob M the previous day. Also one Grey Wagtail flew south over Gorleston cliffs calling as it went.
