Observation details

Ad male on Meare Heath pool. A second male (right-hand bird in image) was considered to be a hybrid. Although it seemed structurally very similar to a Scaup, it had darker vermaculations on the mantle and appeared to have an abnormal bill pattern [NB this bird was seen again at a later date and id'd as a pure Scaup]
