Another fine time at our premier gull roost. A decent flock on arrival around 3.45pm, with not much new until a mass arrival a little before 5pm. 3 juvenile Kumlien's Gulls were present, 2 the same as the last 2 Sunday's (and one of the same seen by Brian yesterday) but 1 was a new bird - so that's 4 now at Llys-y-fran in 11 days! Also a smart juvenile Iceland Gull for comparison, the usual adult Ring-billed Gull, 3 Yellow-legged Gulls (2 adults & a 2CY) and an adult Mediterranean Gull. Rough estimates of the commoner gulls: 2,500 Lesser Black-backed, 250 Herring, 600 Black-headed, 7 Common. Surely due a Glaucous here before long. (And thanks Clive, I see clearly what a brute your Nelson's Gull is!!)
