Dornoch Beach 20/12/2025

Dornoch is currently the place to be in Highland with a stunning array of duck species currently feeding off here. Most notable and the only one I failed to see on both Friday and Saturday was the Black Scoter, but despite this disappointment, Emily and I were able to enjoy the other delights here:

King Eider - 1 1w drk
Surf Scoter - 2 
Velvet Scoter - 4
Scaup - 10
Long-tailed Duck - 50
Eider - 12
Slavonian Grebe - 5
Twite - 5
Snow Bunting - 2

It's been relatively quiet elsewhere, although we did have a Waxwing over central Inverness on 15th November.
