Marloes

Nothing on the Mere, not even one Glossy, however walking down the track to the beach (Sandy lane)in the field to the left, which had recently been muck spread, were a couple of hundred gulls that looked interesting so I scanned through them hoping to find a White Winger - one did fly in, but it had two or three black spots on the outer primaries that reminded me of a second winter Med Gull. It promptly vanished as they were feeding, leap-frogging over each other, moving up the field. The whole flock flew past me some 15 mins later on the cliff top by Gateholm, heading towards Skomer, but I couldn`t find it again. Stumped!
