Lesser Scaup = aythya hybrid

A photo by Brian Henderson clearly shows a lack of scalloped mantle, so a hybrid of some sort. Nigel Willits. Ed. Many thanks to those involved in resolving the doubts. So... where's the Lesser Scaup! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‰

Having viewed the bird only distantly, it would be helpful to see the photo - is it published on line anywhere please?

For David Henshilwood. Looks like you'll have to sign up to Birdforum or perhaps just get in touch with Gavin Chambers, whose own contribution to the ID issue I've recently published. Cheers.
