It now lies in the hands of the observer and the county rarities committee, although the observer feels certain it was an Arctic Skua.

If any body has ANY information with regards this sighting could they please let me know privately, as I'd very much like to get something documented for it rather than loose it all together.

Pager services report an ARCTIC SKUA (or "possibly LONG-TAILED SKUA") over Harwood, heading towards Tottington, Bolton @ 10.00
