After the weeks freezing conditions I was hopeful that SCP might produce a goody or two. Starting at the Kelvin mouth it was obvious that Duck numbers were considerably up on last week as no doubt many had been frozen out of their normal patch. In particular there were now more than 200 each of both Goldeneye & Tufted Duck.
Scrutiny of the flock produced at least 3 Scaup, 1 1st winter drake & 2 females as well as a single drake Pochard. A Kingfisher was also seen.
After a coffee in M&D's I noticed a large frozen area at the north end of the loch with lots of Gulls on it. However, despite it being set up for a White Winger I was unable to score with one.
