A blowy day with quite a few others reporting birds like Pomarine Skuas flying past off the headlands of Kent.
Not quite so much in the brief time I was at Leysdown, but quite a few gannets way out to sea. On the shore some nice Herring Gulls.
This I think is a First Winter bird, as it has a dark eye, dark beak pretty much all the way to the tip, and rather pointy white tips to the primaries. However it might be a relatively immature Second Winter bird. It is possible that this bird is still growing some new outer primaries.
