MEGA! WHITE-WINGED SCOTER!

We appear to have seen a White-winged Scoter (fem.), not the Velvet Scoter we first thought! See Ashley's post on: https://www.oriolebirding.com/birding-diary-news-4.html 

Here are some pictures I took – I have more if required, but none of them are sharp! To assist with ID, I have only slightly sharpened and obviously cropped, as distant.
