Observation details
Another major highlight! When I spotted it first up, I was utterly confused. It’s head was under its wing... I was contemplating the idea of it being a Sooty or Bridled Tern when it suddenly stuck its head out... an unforgettable sight! I loved how it tottered along as if made of clockwork, and how, as it slept, it would occasionally spin exactly like a weathervane, though for what reason I’m not quite sure. With its tiny legs and jet black back, the Skimmer has fast won me over!
