Storm Babet is likely to have severely affected east coast shags. These could well be displaced birds from scottish colonies so please keep an eye out for them and check their legs for colour rings. [email protected] for sightings

@DrKCMCross I read this as 'Apple store *New* York' and was worried you were still scarred by the experience! (I think I am)

Thank you! I'll see what they say 🙂
