Keep checking them all Mark. We are destined to get a dropwing or other rarity at some point check the end of the NNNS species guide for contenders norfolknaturalists.org.uk/wp/wp-conten...

I do hope the beer slugger has considered the payback his ‘government’ would need to give to legal immigrants. I and my Australian wife have paid out just over £19,000 in visa fees over the last five years to obtain right to remain status. If rescinded I for one will be beating a path to the courts!

Thanks Gary - just travelling back from a week leading in Yorkshire will take a look tomorrow.

Cesarean … love it! - I think we need to put that one in the ‘too hard basket’ I shall record it as ‘cetacean species’ as there are several it could be. Many thanks for taking the trouble to record.

Rob/Gary - as you would guess it’s a tall ask to identify any cetacean from such distant photos. However I can tell you what it isn’t. It’s not a Harbour Porpoise or a Bottlenose Dolphin … it shows some features of Common Dolphin but any impression of size?

Nowp … as true as it gets!

Ok I get it … but now I can’t see anything but.

Almost as good as the comment from the guy next to me when a beer bottle floated past the ferry we were on ‘look … a bottle no dolphin’

Up to 2000 the most common dolphin here in Norfolk was White beaked (a cold water species) now it’s Common Dolphin (a temperate water species)

This is also exemplified by the increasing number of warm water cetacean species being seen in uk waters and the decreasing number of cold water species.

Distribution map for The Netherlands makes interesting reading.
