I went to Ambleside Park yesterday. It was my first time here so I wasn't too familiar with where to find birds. There were rafts of Barrow's Goldeneye near the piers

I was hoping to find Harlequin Ducks. I thought I didn't see them until I went home and checked my photos and found "Waldo" in a photo I thought had only Barrow's Goldeneyes. Unfortunately I only saw the Goldeneyes in my photos at the time and thought I should go to the other side of the park to find the birds. I was also a bit paranoid as I forgot my second camera battery and this one had 2/3 bars left.

This Gull (Glaucous-winged or Western hybrid?) thought he wouldn't be spotted among the decoys in the playground at John Lawson Park. He few away shortly afterwards.

Here's some Marbled Murrelets. Poor shots but my first time seeing this fascinating species.
