Long Tailed Duck

 always good to see some Long Tailed Ducks, this one down at Grutness. The 100 or so birds at West Voe seem to have left and may have moved north to gather at Bluemull sound before heading north to their breeding grounds

I prefer them in winter plumage as they look a lot smarter , soon they will be in browner plumage to blend in with their nesting surroundings
