Back on the Humber

So back up to the bridge this morning with conditions looking promising ie howling wind and pouring with rain.  Having got stuck behind every tractor in North Lincolnshire and every road work possible I arrived to learn from Graham (already in situe) that I had just missed a Long Tailed Skua !! Never mind over the next 5 hours the following poor birds found themselves confronted with the might of the Humber Bridge; 2 Long-Tailed Skuas, 1 Great Skua, 1 beautiful adult Little Gull, 1 Guillemot, only 1 juvenile Gannet, 6 Arctic Terns, 4 Common Terns and 2 Common Scoter so not brilliant but not bad and who knows what might turn up tomorrow.  Here's the Great Skua photo by Graham Catley.
