Lesser Scaup Aythya affinis

St.Margarets Loch, Holyrood Park, Edinburgh, Lothian, Scotland

Friday 6th April 2007

  This 1st Winter Drake Lesser Scaup was very confiding on the small Edinburgh Loch. Thanks to Rob and Maggie for driving and their company. As well as the usual profile shots, tried to get some interesting (?) frozen water effects. There is also the obligatory ‘bum shot’.

  Photos taken with a Canon EOS 30D and a Canon 75-300mm Lens.
