    So Common that I have never seen one. Then, if it is one that is usually at sea, I wouldn't get much of a chance.

    Hi Toffeeapple. You should consider a trip to the North Norfolk coast – "Despite its name, it is not at all common in some inland areas, though often abundant on the coast and in some eastern counties" (RSPB). All best, Tim
