#rarebirdsuk #ukrarebirds I did not have White Tern on my radar!! Never have so many Birders Googled White Tern at the same time. 🤣 Found inland, so not off a ship. Can’t see any held in captivity. If Ascension Frigatebird can make it - 2x! Perhaps WT can. The only question is; Real or hoax?

The adult Pacific Diver this afternoon at Roskilly, Newlyn. I found it among 39+ Great Northern Divers sheltering from the storm, v close inshore. This is five miles from the original location at Boat Cove! It’s four years since the last one. Great find @reuben-veal.bsky.social #cornwallbirding

A pretty quiet BGBW, so set off for my usual check of RSPB Loch of Spiggie. Superb to find this drake Bufflehead (almost certainly relocated from Foula). Less than 40m it stayed before departing. No camera. So my awful scoped shot. And a flight shot sent to me by George Petrie. #BirdingScotland
