WBDLovely day on the coast, though not nearly the numbers of sea-duck as usual, not sure what's going on with them this year. Found a probable White-billed Diver, though as it was nearer Norway than Scotland even the best of scopes struggled. Though the bill on these things really does catch the light even miles away, and they always seem to be looking from side to side with it held pointed skyward. Besides that it was next to two GNDs and it wasn't a third! Anyway nobody else has seen it since so it will just be a dodgy single observer record that gets rejected as a misidentified Royal Navy Frigate, so no description needed there then. Not that I have a problem with rarities committees or anything, but if you are reading this look, it was a flippin Bonaparte's Gull ok. enough.10:07 AM - 6 March 2009 - post comment
