9, on Milford RFC pitch, with a few Black Headed Gulls. 8 were adults, 3 of which were sporting White darvic jewellery, the other 1 was a first winter with a slightly more up-market alloy ring. All were tolerant of me being quite close as I tried to read the codes, however a passing Sparrowhawk freaked them & they winged it off towards Gelliswick, from where I`d just come from. It was about 4:15 pm, I didn`t bother going after them - they probably settled on the sea anyway.
