Too close to focus!

Sheila and I went to Scarborough on Monday. After lunch we walked along Marine Drive spotting auks and a red-throated diver quite easily on a flat calm sea. Razorbill Razorbill Razorbill Razorbill Razorbill Red-throated Diver But before lunch we went to Peasholm Park to see another bird...

It came within three feet of us and was quite clearly very curious to weigh us up! An unbelievable encounter.
