Media notes

Fine detail on bill structure on eclipse male adult. This bird, a male, stays on this loch all year round as it's flight capacity is impaired (possibly shot/wounded) - it can fly, but not for great distances. He has been with us for three full seasons now and has adapted well - even eats bread thrown for the ducks and swans. Elevation: 32 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
