  Autumn

  spring 
  visitant 
  ; 
  very 
  rare 
  and 
  local 
  in 
  the 
  Moray 
  Firth 
  area 
  in 
  

   winter 
  ; 
  is 
  believed 
  to 
  have 
  bred. 
  We 
  believe 
  this 
  species 
  to 
  be 
  of 
  comparative 
  rarity 
  

   in 
  tidal 
  estuaries 
  at 
  any 
  great 
  distance 
  from 
  its 
  breeding 
  haunts, 
  but 
  as 
  new 
  breeding 
  

   haunts 
  are 
  taken 
  up 
  in 
  new 
  districts, 
  its 
  naturally 
  sedentary 
  habits 
  prevent 
  long 
  flights, 
  

   and 
  when 
  frozen 
  out 
  of 
  fresh-water 
  localities, 
  it 
  betakes 
  itself 
  to 
  the 
  nearest 
  tidal 
  

   creek 
  or 
  estuary.
