Juvenile Sabine's Gull, Rough Point, 12th September 2017 (M.O'Clery).
During a violent gale force wind, there were upwards of 400 Arctic Terns taking shelter in the lee of the headland. This juvenile Sabine's Gull made a brief appearance among them for just five minutes or so, before heading south into Sandy Bay. A second bird - also a juvenile - rounded the headland a short time later and headed west into the ferocious headwind.
