Seagulls

I was in Falmouth today visiting number two son and grand-daughter. We on the seafront watching the seagulls when an Albatross appeared.
A Grumman Albatross.
Gosh but it were a noisy thing.

N98TP which is based at Lee-on-Seagull, er, Solent. Looks like he made a few passes overhead Falmouth and St Mawes around 1pm before alighting in the Fal estuary - back to LOS about 5pm. Also flew up to Oxford and back early in the day and stopped off at Exeter on the way to Cornwal. Lovely old bird!

Albatross! D'you get surfers with it?

Actually... looks to have flown Oxford/Lee/Exeter/Falmouth/Lee/Oxford...
