Here's a Razorbill photo I just saw on Facebook from yesterday (by Allan Pringle).

Personally, I got more enjoyment seeing the LWfG than any Egyptian Goose I've seen in Scotland - but it's only the latter that I'm likely to be able to "officially count". Good job I don't worry about lists.

It was listed under "escapes" in LBR but it was not assessed in any way as far as I know.

There have been very few scoters at Musselburgh the past week - in fact I saw none today. Numbers of Velvets have declined rapidly from the summer/early autumn peak although the White-winged Scoter was still with 15 Velvets on 2nd. The Long-tailed Ducks should be arriving soon - again none yet.

No, it didn't fly when I was there
