Who's this visitor to HMS Richmond in the Baltic Sea?

HMS Richmond has received a visit from a small bird while deployed in the Baltic Sea.

The Royal Navy vessel shared an image of its avian visitor, with the words: "An impromptu weapon inspection!"

The Type 23 frigate has been working with other Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) nations in the region.
