While scanning for the Eurasian Wigeon at the spit late this afternoon

bird has a noticeable stubby tuft and charcoal back (darker than surrounding
Greater Scaup). It was roughly 150m offshore at the mouth of the
Just a heads up for anyone interested - I just refound the Tufted Duck x Scaup

It is currently in the marina, diving frequently, and is associating with a
handful of Greater Scaup.
