As I was in the vacinity of Borth today I thought I'd go and see the Scaup.I took a walk over the road bridge and had a good view of a red shank in the mud nearby.It was getting on for lunch time and very cold when I noticed someone on the railway bridge, and the Scaup through it on the other side.I worked out how to reach the bridge and was very impressed with the access.Eventually I got on to it and had a grand view of the scaup and what a view of the Leri. The person I saw was a freelance wildlife camera man working for BBC Wales.He had been there since 8am and had seen Tarka disappear unfortunately up stream .Tarka is famous they have read about her on the Blogg!All things being equal Iolo will be able to show her on his programme scheduled for the summer.I think that this is where I pay a tribute to all dedicated photographers and camera persons for their patience ,skill and endurance in the name of wildlife.
