Gann

A very brief look at the Gann as I was in the area dropping off another Manxie with Dave and Lisa. An intriguing smallish 1cy gull with charcoal black legs and bill, had George, Fiona and myself guessing, eventually it took flight and revealed itself as a Med gull of diminished proportions (definitely looked on the small size hunkered down against the BHs, don't you love gulls).

2 1cy GBB gulls: a Skokholm ringed (red ring, white 'W') and a Bardsey ringed (green ring, white 'B'). Too blustery and damp for reading the digits. Otherwise 4 Dunlin, 1 Ringed plover and 4 Bar-tailed godwits flew up to the marsh.
