It showed well again today!
The story; some days ago a BB-Albatross was seen at the Northern tip of Denmark; Skagen. With the large seabird-colony at Helgoland as an attraction we speculated about the bird visiting the island. Of course this was not serious and we were to busy with Blyths Reed Warbler, Lesser Grey Shrike and that (for sure!) rare Bunting. And then yesterday morning at 7:00 Gotthard Krug saw and photographed the Albatross very close at Jugendherberg, but he lost it behind Dune with some Gannets. Due to communication problems the news only got out at 9:00 and from that time outlook posts were installed at Kringel, the cliffs and Jugendherberg. Only at 17:00 the the bird was relocated, flying in front of the cliffs, just as we were inhouse warming up after a long day in cold stormy winds... Luckily the bird showed well later that evening, see previous post.
This morning the Albatross was more frequently flying along the cliffs, and landed even on the back side of Lange Anna! I saw it above land at Kringel and it cruised also over the Fanggarten. Black-browed Albatross, a stunning addition to the Helgoland-list!!
