I JUST FOUND A LONG-TAILED SKUA AT Beddington Farmlands !!! I couldn’t believe it when I nearly stood on it hidden in the grass 😭 Looks exhausted but not injured - now been taken into care 🙏🙏 #birding #BirdsSeenIn2024

We've had a good few weeks at Beddington, with Sandwich Terns, fall days (8+Whinchat, 49+ Chiff, 29+ Wthroat), Tripits, Spotfly etc. And of course today's fantastic Long-tailed Skua, nearly trod on by Jack Pettit. Glad to see the bird fly & disappear after two restless hours!
