Another 'rarity' (just not as good as Jomo's!)
As Jomo so rightly points out - who indeed doesn't love a rarity! Supposed to be on my way out for a long bird survey tonight and get a phone call from neighbour across the bay (He would have shouted across, but that would have scared the bird!!!) - there's a nice Glaucous Gull enjoying the remains of a seal along with a handful of GBBs and commons. I pop across to his side of the bay, as it's getting so bloody foggy, I can't see it from the conservatory - great bird (2nd cal summer, I think, but looks even paler). My ten minutes turns into 40 including a 'social' with Herbert and Ingrid and I have to take my leave to do the 'proper job'. I've only just got back in - 5 hours in the field and knackered.
