Long-tailed Duck

Clangula hyemalis

In fine breeding plumage with his tail feathers all out behind :)

A beautiful sunny day, so I upped and offed to Musselburgh. Loads of birds about: goldeneye, teal, wigeon, shelduck, velvet scoter, curlew, redshank, oystercatcher, peewit, red-breated merganser and Slavonian grebe.... and that's ignoring the usual gulls, corvids, swans etc.

A load of photos, very hard to choose...so, some more are in Another Place ;)
