Little Auk off Berry Head

4 December 2009

Mark Darlaston took these three photos of a Little Auk which landed very close in off Berry Head on 2 December. The bird was first spotted by Dave Stone.

Little Auks are very scarce passage and winter visitors to Devon's coastal waters, occurring annually in varying numbers depending on weather conditions.
