A couple more of Messingham’s Pom Skua

Flight shots taken by Wayne this evening of the Scunthorpe area’s first spring record of Pomarine Skua

Pomarine Skua at Messingham Sand Quarries

Fabulous find at Messingham this evening by Karen and Simon Spavin - photos below by Neil Drinkall - as far as we know this is an excellent first spring record for the Scunthorpe area, blown inland by today's strong westerly gales - Wayne’s photos to follow shortly.
First image is sat on a Coot’s nest having taken all the eggs - also took Black Headed Gull’s eggs - it had better not get my Shelduck chicks.
