Today=2C Peter Davies (separately=2C but at the same time at Western Head) =
as Dorothy Poole and I saw four surf scoters fly by.

We had two rarities=2C but they shall remain as unknowns.  The one was a la=
rge tern=2C all white=2C but we were unable to see any features of the head=
 or bill.  It was either a caspian or royal.  It was headed to the southwes=
t=2C so Murray=2C Johnny and Clyde keep your eyes open.  The other bird was=
 a brownish duck with very pointed wings flying above the wavetops.  The wi=
ng beat was strange.  We suspect only that it might have been a female harl=
equin duck.  Not a given as it puzzled the three of us.  Definitely a duck =
of some sort.
