surprise sighting on St Kilda

surprise sighting on St Kilda

Postby mountain tortoise » Wed Aug 03, 2011 8:21 pm

Just back form a trip to St Kilda. Expected to see Gannets Great Skuas etc. but this guy was a surprised at about 500ft up Mulloch Mor. I can only think it is a Golden Plover but would be glad if any one knows better as that seems so unlikely..
