Feeling the need to have a closer look at those Brents for colour rings I ventured back at low tide to take a closer look, now increased to 30 from this morning. Not a single ring visible, obviously escaped the rocket nets in Ireland! Still worthwhile though with two GND`s by the blue & white buoy, 8 Med Gulls - further to Dave`s comments - eight were adults & one second Winter, 9 Redshank, 4 Blacktail Godwits & a handful of Common Gulls, just 3 Wigeon on the sea, the lagoon was almost empty of birds bar the Teal, Swans & a couple of Little Egrets. Still no Little Gull....
Marloes Mere around 4:45pm 5 White Fronts flew in from the West & settled down right in front of the Britton Hide. Readers of this blog may be relieved by the fact that I never had my camera.....
