In 1987 I was a novice Birder stood on the end of Filey Brigg when a shout went up..."Albatross"!!!
I didn't see anything BIG.
There was a returning bird for many years at Hermaness in the Northern Isles but that was way beyond yours truly with a young family.
A couple of misses at Bempton relatively recently. One when I was on the Outer Hebrides and the other when I was working, mean I still haven't seen this species in Britain.
I now have another chance!
A bird was seen off the Lizard on Friday afternoon. It was then (surprisingly) seen again this morning AND late afternoon!!!
Obviously lingering/roosting.
After a tough week I'll be driving down tonight... fingers crossed...
