The sea was extremely quiet off Western Head this morning, with little evid=
ence of waterfowl migration yet except for 7 Black Scoters heading NE. The =
big numbers of migrating Eiders and Scoters have yet to come.
However there were three Common Eiders just off the point, two males and a =
female. Both males were of the northern subspecies borealis so likely the f=
emale was too.
Do borealis eiders merit being put on the RBA? Who knows. we seem to have o=
nly ancecdotal evidence of their abundance and a few recent photographs fir=
mly documenting their presence here.
