News broke this afternoon that Wirral birder Sean O'Hara had discovered a Black scoter off East Hoyle Bank, Hoylake.
This sighting marked a first for Cheshire and Wirral. Unfortunately, I would have to wait until tomorrow to attempt to see it due to the tide.

This morning, Jenna and I ventured out to East Hoyle Bank, searching through hundreds of Common Scoters. Our perseverance paid off when we finally found the bird.
