Avocet - Hook

The individual highlight of our WeBS count at Hook today was the Avocet which was on the Daugleddau at the southern end of the mouth of Sprinkle Pill.  The numbers of waders here was amazing, and great flocks of Golden Plover, Lapwing & Dunlin wheeled around as the tide receded and the mud became exposed.

Just into the Western Cleddau we found an adult Mediterranean Gull which had a red darvic ring on its right leg with white lettering, which we red as PHAL, but it doesn't quite match any scheme we can find, as yet, so we must have misread at least one digit!  (Dave & Lisa)
