Fylde Bird Club on X: "This aberrant Sandwich Tern caused a stir amongst local birders today.Pure white plumage with all yellow bill, legs and feet. It was wearing a yellow colour ring but I couldn't read it all. However, given the almost unique plumage,we might yet find out its history.

Now at Turnberry Point, the Ayrshire Western Sandpiper. I'd never noticed the orange sensory pads on the feet soles before #UKbirding

It was calling to adults within the group it was flying with.

😄...thankfully it was calling also.

You bet until it started calling.

A striking leucistic juv. Sandwich Tern flying south past Dunure this morning #UKBirding
