Priorslee lake - Kittiwake

I was busy and couldn't get over to Priorslee lake on Tuesday when Reevesy found an adult Kittiwake there. He picked up another or the same bird again today so it would have been rude not to go and check it out...


It was initially about 100m off the dam on arrival but paddled closer...




And closer... (the sun nearly peeked out here!)




 Back to the gloom and eventually some 40m or so away!





It all came to an abrupt end when the Mute Swans started some argy bargy but I was hankering after a flight shot!




Quite distinct upperwing marks pattern if anyone got a picture of Tuesday's bird??


Keep 'em coming!
