Observation details
Juvenile bird as present for 5days or so. Exceptional views feeding along the tide line in the masses of seaweed. After getting views on the beach i sat and waited for a bit. The weather got worse and worse but the views got better and better and the bird continued feeding eventually stopping about 5metres from me. Despite the poor weather a memorable encounter aided by the fact all other birders had long since left so had it all to myself!
