Interested in all #wildlife, but #seabirds, #raptors and #cetaceans are my favourites. Many hours spent #seawatching at home and abroad.

Looks good, certainly wingbar looks very grey and diffuse pale area at base of bill, can't see spectacles but has eye-ring. Sadly I didn't get the drake in the flight photo. May be any duck in flight experts might confirm.

Be interesting to see if the 3 Spoonbills on the Teign Est have gone, they were still there a couple of days ago! We had 4 GW Egrets roosting at Slapton this eve, which might be to the 4 you had at BHd

Interesting today there were less Kittiwakes and Auks. Given the Kits were so hard to count yesterday a better estimate would be 20K for 04/11 based on 5min samples. Amazing to have 2 days with Leach's!!
