    Had a Glimpse today, humbled to say the least. Spilled my phone to try & catch it.

    Fascinating creatures. We get a lot of them here, I'm happy to say.

    I thought it was a "what three words" but there were four.

    I’ve seen one twice, once in Dunwich, once at a National Trust property in Cornwall, the name of which escapes me.

    I’m just back from a week in Menai with a lot of time in Nature Reserves and listening to a raucous cacophony of oyster catchers just under Menai Bridge.

    First time to Penmon and southstacks and sadly the puffin still evades me. I’ve never seen so many guillemots and razorbills in my life though.
