Rather than a hoped for juvenile Brown Booby it was a brown Great Cormorant but the walk was worth the effort. A clamoring of gulls alerted me to a Great Horned Owl nearby, perhaps only 15 metres distant. I was just raising my camera for a full frame photo when "whamo", a crow chopped it on the head and off it flew. I'm sure it will stay in the area so I'll try to call it out this afternoon. A quick check of the rocks off Bull Point near Sambro revealed my first Purple Sandpiper of the season.
