Wigeons

 
Eurasian Wigeons
Scalby Mills, Scarborough
18/11/2012

Visit to Scalby Mills, Scarborough on a beautiful bright sunny Sunday morning, saw a large number of Wigeon feeding at near high tide level, at least 100 number in total.

The wigeon is a medium-sized duck. Though the birds do breed in Scotland, many birds visit the UK in winter, from Iceland, Scandinavia and Russia.
