Hi,

For the past two-three weeks there have been in the region of 10-15 THOUSAND scoter off Friskney in the Wash.

The scoter are too far to see well from the land, but Steve Keightley and I are trying to arrange a boat trip. If the birds are still present and the weather is favourable we hope to arrange a trip on the Mystere departing from Boston Marina (probably) on Sat 2 or Sun 3 April. The trip will last about 8 hours and cost around £30 each (based on a full boat of 20 people).

If you are interested (no obligation at this stage) please can you email recorder_south@lincsbirdclub giving a contact phone number.

I would say there is a very good chance of Lincolnshire's first Surf Scoter in a flock of this size....

Cheers,

John & Steve
