The juvenile Glaucous Gull was picked out in the estuary during high tide late afternoon by Arfon Williams. When the river is high at roost time gulls tend to either fly straight to Cardigan Island to roost (large gulls) or roost on the sea off Poppit Dunes (small gulls). Some have a short bathe on the water and are best viewed from the aptly named Gull View Point half way between St. Dogmael's and Poppit where the sun is setting behind you.
Gull numbers passing the GVP today - 5 Med Gulls, 500 Common Gulls, 1500 Black-headed Gulls and 500 large Gulls.
Following my post yesterday ref missing Barnacle Geese, they are back 134 Barnacle Geese on Cardigan Island today.
