Surf Scoter: I just had to share these record shots of this mega rare local bird. This is the first time this species has ever been recorded in Manchster. These are a rare visitor to Britain and Ireland, with most records between October and March. They are a North American species that migrates to British and Irish coasts outside of the breeding season. So to get on inland is pretty rare and unusual, but to get one in Manchester in June is simply crazy!
