Observation details
Definitely a scaup but not sure of the species. Originally thought bird was a greater given the flatter head, but it seems to have a small/narrow head. It was turning its head so cannot judge the tuft placement on back of head. Lesser would be the more common so thought it was safe to put great/lesser.
