One of the craziest birding moments I've ever had at Drift this evening - picking up this flock of 12 Scaup and realising a ridiculous TEN (10) were Lesser Scaup! Feeding voraciously as if they had just crossed the Atlantic 🤯

FREE LENS!!!!

Is there a young birder in the UK or Thailand who would like my Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary (Nikon mount)?

I've switched to Canon so this old lens needs a new home - some fungus on the interior so I can't sell it, but it still works great.
