Not 100% but almost certainly flying Eastwards and down to Yarmouth at a terrific rate, got it in the 'scope but too far away by then. If still there it needs checking out as it turned up in equally strong Westerlies some weeks ago.I saw it just after Andrew T . but not through a 'scope.The American BT was only just over the water in Bournemouth a year ago for a good while.

juv. Seen by APT in the morning. This afternoon just once, heading west towards the Sconce buoy at the same distance out. Only through bins but nothing suggested a bird from the USA. Strange to turn up in strong Westerlies though.
