The RSPB is reporting another drop in the population of Common Scoters breeding in the UK. The 2007 survey found only 52 breeding pairs.

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls".
