Nice shot Neil, I've only seen a few so far "down here" this year and we are out in the middle of the countryside ...... the first just over a week ago ...... maybe it's just a little early to see them in numbers
Looks like another bird to go on the red list soon in the UK, from a all year round garden regular too rarely seen overnight.
One bird i used to take for granted but i'd love to see one of these back in my garden, massive crash in numbers in my area

Noticed similar just down the road from you Neil, very few knocking about and even fewer bullies.One bird i used to take for granted but i'd love to see one of these back in my garden, massive crash in numbers in my area

O joy, more bloody gannets.
Nearly as tedious as Kingfishers on a stick.
One from last year but i've been out today and they have arrived back at the same location so look forward to spending some time with these.
