Velvet Scoter

I made a trip down to Orcombe Point in Exmouth to look for a reported Yellow-Browed Warbler but I only managed to get a brief views of the bird and I also heard it calling , also seen was a female Common Kestrel , a male Blackcap and a few Goldcrest , I then had a look at the sea and picked up a flock of around 30ish Common Scoter flying across the bay and in with them was a Velvet Scoter , they headed towards Sandy Bay so I walked on a bit further and found them on the sea along with 2 female Common Eider a bird that I have not seen around this area for a quite a while , I was viewing them from on the cliffs so they were always a bit distant but scope views were ok !!
