Rapid news turnaround [ish]
Over at the Nose this afternoon, and as well as 4 GNDs and a couple of Guillemots [plus lotsa gulls, though not inshore] I was delighted to hear a familiar creaky call...
Sarnie!!
Came in from the South, and fished very close inshore - almost in the breakers - off The Sole. This one got a very big [for a tern] fish, which seemed to be almost half the size of its body [got it down though!], then flew off North. Few minutes later, another one shows up! Then a while after that... a third!
Woooo.
No Wheatears yet [shock] but, ah 'tis great to see.
And watching Sarnies be mini-Gannets at close range in sunshine is a treat. :D
Less fun for them was a 2cy Herring Gull, which seems to think it's a skua; it chased one of them around - determination making up for what it lacked in agility - for what seemed like a couple of minutes and tried it on with another later.
Speaking of skuas... No, wait, that's yesterday :)
More will come in due course, including a new contender for 'WORST RECORD SHOT EEEEEEEEEVER!'
[Mua-ha-ha-ha-haaaa]
Be Seeing You...
