FOY Skua

Lovely morning here, which is a novelty recently! A stroll to the "second pill" revealed...nowt. We stood for a good 45 minutes enjoying the fresh air in the sunshine. I scanned regularly but the sea was "dead". Until...2 Arctic Skuas (P.128, H.109) materialized by the Yellow Buoy off the Sewage albeit briefly, harassing  a couple of Herring Gulls. It was all over in seconds and I couldn't relocate them as they probably rested again on the water. A juvenile Guillimot riding the impressive waves...


...and a family of Greenfinches (6) added further interest on the return leg.
