Scilly day 8 - pelagic Kittiwake

Kittiwakes are gorgeous seabirds and in their first year plumage even more exciting with their poor man's Sab's Gull look! An adult plus 1st year bird were briefly near the boat and despite the grey skies, the youngster made a nice fly past......




Never quite displaying the distinctive full upperwing finery....





The banking shot I was seeking.....



I'm sure there's more to find from this pelagic folder?!
