IT FLEW ALL THE WAY FROM THE ARCTIC TUNDRA BUT COULDN'T FIND A FRIEND IN CLEETHORPES

This tiny shoreline bird - not much larger than a sparrow - found itself all on its lonesome in blustery conditions on Cleethorpes Beach this morning. It had flown here from its breeding grounds in the Arctic tundra and will stay here during autumn and winter unless it decides to fly further south (when the wind drops) in its search for love and companionship.
