Super Gropper capture Tony...No idea about the fish with the GBB Gull, its one the fishermen threw overboard because of weight limitation etc. Hopefully after Brexit they wont have to throw fish away.

Congrats to this rarity. Are you working as an Otolaryngologist for birds? The pose made me think. LOL. A wonderful close-up.

..... I bet you were Tony. And to get such a great picture too.

I think I've heard one a couple of times over on the west coast, but never seen one.

Excellent work here lad - very well done

Many reasons to be excited about this catch, Tony.

A sublime image of this beautifully singing Warbler.
