Other than the expected usual wintering waterfowl it was generally very quiet when we walked around Pembroke Millpond before lunch. Things livened up a bit on the return leg along the edge of Middle Pond with the presence of a (new to us) Belgian-ringed black-headed gull. Hopefully we've managed to read the full sequence 7T45018. It was perched not far away from the Finnish winter resident ST318.661. Looking at gull legs at the Millpond can become a bit obsessive!
Just as we'd managed to confirm the Brussels ring, an otter came on to the scene, upsetting some of the gulls in the process but giving us excellent views for 20 minutes or so. The millpond has generally been quite a good place to get good views of otters over the years so hopefully this one will stick around for a while.
