Re: Surprise visitor to Noah's lake

6-May-15
Presumably the same adult Gannet earlier at 13:40 hrs. Seen to fly into the Brue Estuary, then went inland over the STW and towards East Huntspill.
Also, between 14:00 & 15:00, 2 Arctic Terns and a single adult Kittwake off the Huntspill Seawall.

Much later, at 19:55 hrs, 2 Arctic Skuas (a dark and a light phase) flew down-channel off Burnham seafront, where also a distant flock of c.40 Kittiwakes seen.
A little earlier, Andy Slade saw 4 Pom Skuas fly north from further north along the bay.

Possibly Jeff. We saw the Gannet over Noah's at around 1405-1410.
