Summer seabird

As is predictable at this time of year, the Grimsbury Res patch has been quiet, as we enter the period between spring and autumn migration.

 So it was a  surprise, during a breezy and unsettled period of weather on Tuesday 11/06 - as part of Storm Miguel - that a pristine adult Kittiwake appeared, flying around the res with a Lesser Black Backed Gull. Unfortunately it didn't hang around long enough for anyone else and vanished as I looked down to send a text on my phone!







 Amazingly the 5th year in a row and 6th Kittiwake I've recorded during my time patching Grimbo!
