THE SCAUP DUCK is a winter visitor to this country, and 

 rather a late one, seldom making its appearance till the 

 end of October, or the beginning of November, about 

 which time, particularly if the weather be rough and cold, 

 they arrive in small flocks on various parts of the coast, 

 and at the mouths of rivers, but do not very often visit 

 the waters of inland counties. They appear to prefer low, 

 flat, muddy, or oozy shores, and are numerous throughout
