Bitterly cold with biting wind. The 1st winter/Immature Velvet Scoter still present around mid day today. After approx two hours, the bird finally swam from the middle of the reservoir to the south bank. Immediately flushed by a dog walker, so I was only able to fire off a few hand held shots as it swam back to its preferred position back in the centre!!
