Merry Glonkmas!


Breaking News:

Glaucous Gull at Hope's Nose. Again!



Slightly less good than last year, as the big lump saw me pull my camera and promptly buggered off Southwards...

But I got a couple of shots as he went, and while he's markedly browner than last year's bird [and definitely a 1cy and so not the same] he's still [having caught paranoia about his browny tail and checked Olsen & Larsson carefully] in the Glonk range.

Observe;

Glonkus ginormicus

Yup, a biggun.

Sticking the bill out for us

I couldn't make out that bill on boc, so getting the nice 'bubblegum dipped in tar' pattern is a little relief, as while it looked lovely and biscuity when it popped up right in front of my astonished eyes [over the slick, 50' max.!!], looking at the hurriedly-shot-into-the-rain pics [taken as it cruised off] made it look a little Nelson-y... 

Anyways, headed into the Bay at 0915, so probably in Brixham Harbour right now.

Go on, what are you waiting for??

;)

Merry Christmas everybody!

Be Seeing You...
