MEGA - Fea's Petrel!!!!!!

Flew north from North Denes at 6pm!!!!!! Thanks to MAG and John F. for letting us know!

We were just going to end the day in Dauke's Hide, but obviously nipped down Beach Road, pretty sharpish!

Waiting, hopefully at Coastguards!!!!!
 
With other birders and Wil from RBA who scorched into the carpark, with the smell of burning brakes!!! - we waited in anticipation for this Mega Bird, but sadly this was not to be. I was standing on my new seawatching step, when suddenly the right side of it gave way, which had me in fits of laughter - just as RM and MAG turned up, which I'm sure made them smile! Basically I hadn't extended the leg bits properly! Note to self: check before standing on! 7 bonxies were seen going east and good numbers of common scoter passing through.
