Exploratory movements by young birds before breeding are are normal behaviour. What’s unusual is seeing tropical species this far north but there does seem to be increasing evidence of warm water species of birds (& fish) occurring further north in recent years perhaps linked to sea warming?

I think there’s been one summering around the Danish coast - not sure if same one.

Ah - quite possibly so; it’s a very international place in the autumn. The commentary is a classic bit of Swenglish. Rather in awe of ability to video passing seabirds - apparently this done with Swarovski BTX

Actually Swedish birders 😉 - I think Gannet is a pretty good bird here too

And I suspect it is 'little' things like that that help to foster the alumni support of US Universities...

Absolutely - and to say nothing of email addresses for authors of work, which in the case of PhD students is rarely all published within their studentship. It's such a widely-needed thing these days that I wonder if any states will start providing these for citizens

Does Aberdeen maintain access to @aberdeen email addresses after people graduate/move on? We don't. I've long thought this to be a problem - we need to use email addresses for continuity through many life stages, so we should either support gmail type solutions, or allow keeping work ones...

Yes - I think it’s superb. Many new details to learn from almost every species.

Looks great to me - for comparison a record shot of a Tawny on breeding site in Sweden this summer in not dissimilar pose to the last one

Curious. All external video players allowed already.
