Shelduck


Amongst the gulls swimming off Lower Largo Pier, I noticed a duck which I hadn't seen before in this area. Unfortunately, I didn't have my binoculars but I took a photo and zoomed in once I got it on to the computer.  Identified it as a shelduck. The gulls were mostly black headed gulls, in winter plumage, and a juvenile herring gull.
