Continuing the theme of bad Sooty Tern footage, here’s an old photo from the only other I’ve seen in the UK; Cemlyn Bay, July 2005. 📸 Canon 10D and the EF500. Heat haze was absolutely dreadful!!! #RareBirdsUK #Birding #sootytern #Birdingwales

Not just Kittiwakes Another short clip of the Sooty Tern on Coquet Island, a mere 3km from the mainland viewing point on 3rd August. No sign on a morning charter, but perhaps it could still be in the vicinity. #NEbirding #RarebirdsUK #BirdsSeenIn2026

Expecting a call from the BBC natural history unit after they see this! Fabulous Sooty Tern on Coquet Island - a catch up county tick ✅ having missed the last chasing Lammergeier…. #NEbirding
