Faux Yellow Billed Loon fiasco.

Popped over Hayle today to visit a friend and managed to sneak away from ‘womanly chatter’ to wander around the Estuary. As I stood watching a L. Grebe a couple of twitchers walked on over. Apparently the White Billed Diver had been spotted in the estuary yesterday morn.

I helped identify the lone diver that was causing all the fuss (more twitchers turned up) and broke the sad news it was just a Great Northern. An over zealous birder obviously got carried away when identifying… I just hope they didn’t add it to their life list…

Although, as luck would have it for me, I hadn’t seen the GN Diver this year, so it’s another one for my 07 list.
