First instalment

Got alot of pictures to go through from Sunday but here is the first shot of the Arctic Skua. There are hopefully better to come. Stewartby Lake

Sunday Birdy Sunday...

A few shots from the best day I can remember at Stewartby Lake / MVCP, I've minimised the duplication with other, better , photos of the birds present... Photos by Martin Green.
The dark-phase Arctic Skua that was only present for 22 minutes over/on Stewartby Lake. It flew off for about 5 minutes at one point but photos I took before and after this show pretty much identical plumage and particularly wear on the left wing so I think the same bird was involved on both visits...

Sandwich Tern and 3 Arctic Terns on buoy around 7am.
Very poor record shot of the adult Kittiwake.
