At 0954 a small auk flew south at some distance. My initial thought was Little Auk and it was recorded as such but I made a note that it was "rolling" from side to side, a feature I didnt recall for Little Auk. A check of Flight ID of seabirds tell me that "rolling from side to side" is common for a Puffin which it obviously was. No doubt many readers will be aware of this but for those who do not see Puffin or Little Auk that often (and who does in Lincs?) it is a useful ID character! Just goes to show there is always something to learn!!
