No sign of either the Iceland or Glaucous Gull this morning in a large gathering of gulls around the estuary mouth and on The Salty, however Will counted an impressive 18
Mediterranean Gulls (14 adults, two second-summers and two first-winters) on the southern side of The Ness along with 380
Common Gulls and 67
Lesser Black-backed Gulls suggesting spring gull passage is well underway. Two
Great Northern Divers were also offshore.
A few of the adult Mediterranean Gulls briefly alighted on Ness Cove Beach
The now flooded racecourse continued to hold large numbers of birds, including 40
Black-tailed Godwits, 100+
Golden Plover, 130+
Lapwing, a
Mediterranean Gull and many thrushes still.
The six remaining
Avocet were roosting at Passage House and the
Teal was still
on Decoy Lake.
