Observation details
One light phase (?) immature on beach on N side of El Pico spit, noticed on arrival at 1612. Plumage highly degraded / damaged or oiled. Observed from 80 m for 7-8 minutes (SBG, VSD, CJS photos), then flew off NE across sea 1619 (SBG, CJS photos). Incredibly, another - this a light phase adult/subadult - in exactly same place (within a few metres) at 1715, observed from 50 m for 3 minutes. This latter individual appearing sick, drooping head and gaping. ID / ageing to be confirmed, hopefully by Dani López-Velasco.
