  • Don't believe it! We were actually at Saltholme (about 5 mins down the road from Greatham Creek) at the time, and we missed it :(  

    I wonder if the Roseberry Topping one was the same bird - timing would suggest not, but quite a coincidence to have 2 sightings so close in both time and location.
