An adult female Brown Booby (species 187) has been present in and around South Gare, near Redcar for just over a week. This morning, I have a drive up there and added it to my "Life List".
Brown Booby
It had just flown out to sea, when I arrived at about 8.45am, but it returned within a few minutes, and posed nicely on a small pier - excellent views!!
Twitchers and the Booby
Whilst there, I also saw a couple of Arctic Skuas (species 188) harassing the Sandwich Terns, which were, surprisingly, also a "lifer" for me!! Other species seen were: Guillemot, Razorbill, Oystercatcher, Redshank, Herring and Great Black-backed Gull.
