Booby Brown 574 Teesmouth 2309
A great deal of excitement recently with at least 2 different Brown Boobies in the North Sea. However none stuck around in a dependable way to make travelling worthwhile until today. This adult bird was discovered in the Tees Estuary yesterday afternoon and was still present today. Always quite distant the view through telescopes were fantastic even if the photos aren't.
Not much bigger than a Herring Gull it was obviously a lot smaller than a Gannet. There was a touch of the Pterodactyl about it in flight. The gulls ignored it when it was sitting but as soon as it flew they gave it a hard time
