Of course it was a Long-tailed Skua and a fine one at that.

Did you see a bird? Your description makes two clear references to plants. Last week one of us recorded two sheaves of wheat moving west off Heligoland so we know that is possible. We were also somewhat concerned that this observation was made at 800m without the use of optical aids - something to do with tar, keys and your family pet inhibited your use of such an instrument.<BR/><BR/>Yours regretfully,<BR/><BR/>The CommitteeAlastairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129076714821313669noreply@blogger.com
