Broad Haven

From David Meanwell: Apologies for the poor photos from my phone
I assume this was an immature herring gull but was surprised at the size of the bill and how thick the legs were.
Broad Haven village on Saturday 

Llys-y-fran

Met up with George for a look at the reservoir this evening, a fairly compact roost mostly towards the southern half. An adult Caspian, 6 Yellow-legged gulls (5 adult and 3 cy),  couple of Argentatus-type herring gull, the Ring-bill/LBB cross and a small presumably LBB/HG. 5 adult Mediterranean gulls. 3 GBB (2adult and a 1cy). 15 Greylag flew down the reservoir, single male Goldeneye.

Redshanks

From Peter Royle: I spotted this Redshank on the Gann on Friday, and Michael Sherman kindly sent me the sightings history for this bird, which has been very faithful to its wintering site, as follows:

Redshank 80 - BTO metal ring DT23686 was ringed by us at the Gann on the 7^th December 2020 aged as a 1^st year bird. Resighted by Dave A on the 21/04/2021 at the Gann, again by Dave A on the 24/02/2023 on the beach near Musselwick and the latest by Paddy at the Gann on the  21/01/2025, and now on the Gann by PDR on Dec. 19^th.

One feature of Redshanks in flight, which I had never noted before is the wonderful pattern on the flared tail feathers, reminding me of the undergarments worn by the Can-Can ladies of yesteryear.
