We are on the beach before 8 o'clock & spot the bird within minutes but it flies up & over our heads & out of sight,so the search is on & it is seen again after about 1/2 hour & this time it settles down not to far away from us, it's a right beauty & stands out from all the other gulls around it.
The cameras come out as it poses & stays for a good long time, we spend a good hour just feet away from it. We also find a Slav Grebe & get to see a few Bearded Tits which is always nice, looking out to sea I get a year tick when several Red-throated Divers pass through. The two Long-eared Owls that have been here for some time show well but well back in the bushes so we get no photos of them today.As I said an unexpected trip so the two ticks is not bad & a day out birding is always a pleasure.
