Absolutely delighted to spot this Black browed Albatross at Thornwick Bay this evening. It was flying towards Bempton @BirdGuides @BirdWatchingMag @BBCSpringwatch @Natures_Voice @Bempton_Cliffs @BirdWatchDaily @wildlife_birds #birdwatching #birdphotography

@creek_robert @BirdGuides @BirdWatchingMag @BBCSpringwatch @Natures_Voice @Bempton_Cliffs @BirdWatchDaily @wildlife_birds Sorry, would have done earlier if I had realised what I had seen at the time. It was only when reviewing my photos I realised it what it was. It literally appeared and was above me before I could get my camera on it. I only got the one shot.
