Just had a yg / juv Gannet over the airfield, came in from the North, departed to the South, then went SW towards Tattershall!

Had good views from 100yds - could'nt believe what I was seeing, initally dimissed it coming in as a Cormorant until I saw it properly close up!

No-one will believe an inland Gannet surely.

Thanks - going nuts over an inland Gannet, not unheard of then.
