Fea's type south, 08:13-08:16 Dark underwings, white underparts to body and UTCs, paler grey head and half collar. Upperparts a grey/brown colour, blended into the sea. Flight pattern distinctive, high shears, after every 2-3 shears it had a few fast, powerful, jerky flaps along the sea before shearing again. It appeared to be just a bit larger than half the size (wingspan) of the accompanying gannets. Seen earlier at Sea Palling.
