White-winged would be good. I'd settle for Bimac!

Stunning!

Just stunning!

And very nice at just ten minutes from home... well done Sean!

Anyone who spends less than an hour with this bird should have their bins confiscated!

A fantastic day, especially after being out all day and having to go home at ten to change as I was soaked through. Had no idea what was in store later on...

Congratulations Sean!!

Sounds like this was impossible this morning. Glad its gone so soon as we can't have every man and his dog gripping back Black Lark so soon after the South Stack beauty (did you see that one Tim?)

Congratulations to Sean, they don't come much better. A good bet as well considering the easterly element we have been having. Remarkable similarity in date to the arrival of the Spurn bird 25 years previously...

Of course Josh!

some birds you just have to go for :beer: I can't imagine much better in Britain. Apart from a Pallas's Sandgrouse. A White-winged would be very nice but Pallas's is tops.
