One was found as a dessicated tideline corpse on Walney Island, Cumbria in May 1976. Assigned to Category D upon review but since deleted. It was concluded that the bird had probably died on board a ship perhaps outside British waters and thrown overboard. There was no evidence that it was ever alive within British waters.
