Gann - Slavonian Grebe

An excellent array of birds in the bay late afternoon on a very low tide: a first-year Slavonian Grebe, 1 GN Diver, 2 RT Divers, 5 GC Grebes, and a female RB Merganser. On the shoreline at least 26 Brents (my first count came to 32, but they were widely scattered and I may have double counted/some flew about!). A good gathering of small gulls, at least 13 adult Med Gulls, quite possibly more (one had a ring, which was partially submerged, but looked white). 8 Goldeneye on the lagoon.
