Rare Visitor


High tides this week, and I thought I was seeing things when this unusual bird was paddling upstream on the River. I have never seen one before and thought it might be a young Puffin, it was only when consulting my bird book I realised it was in fact a Guillemot. Perhaps it was a young one or lost in the recent bad weather.

It was busily looking for fish and came very close, completely unperturbed,(short video below).
