I'm not a permit holder at Seaforth, so we were forced to watch from the fence at Crosby Marina, a good 300m from the bird. However, by the time we arrived at 6:30pm, the heat haze had gone, though the sun was still shining brightly, and the light was good. From our position we saw the bird about three times in an hour and a half, and they were all very acceptable views.
Only the 6th ever in Britain, this was not even a North West England tick for me, but it did bring my Merseyside list to 248.
