Fulmar disturbing Aberaeron tennis match

No Green Woodpeckers (see previous postings) over Aberaeron Tennis Club on Wednesday 18th but an errant Fulmar Petrel circled round for five to ten minutes at around 18.45 before being chased off by a Rook. Unusual inland.

As Ian says, unusual inland, but I remember some years ago watching a Fulmar flying along Northgate Street in Aberystwyth, heading towards Penglais Road, and one day last year I was walking from Castle Point towards the pier when a Fulmar came flying towards me along the prom, quite low in front of the Old College.
