Hello,

Couple of digiscoped shots taken tonight in strong wind.

Free pint (or two!) to anyone who relocates it on the north side.

Nice find Dave!

Cheers

CHRIS BELL

Thanks, Chris. These are very good pics in the circumstances. Quite evocative for me as I rang this in to BirdNet having only seen what is visible here. It was on the water when found and I didn't want to delay too long as there was only an hour of good daylight left but had it disappeared I would, in all honesty, not have had enough to get it accepted (eg. nothing on upper and under wing pattern and leg colour). Description embellishment is not my thing, I leave that to others! Could you possibly e-mail me these pics for the BBRC record submission? Cheers, Dave
