Newport this morning

At the bridge 2 Common Sandpipers, 2 Goosanders & a Greenshank.
The gulls included 250+ Commons ( the cut off count for getting listed in Birds in Wales!). Just 2 ringed birds - C Gull Green J3M6 & Black head Black 2BAJ. Both are regular Winter birds here, the former from Norway & the BHG from the West Midlands.
Other birds included 1/2 doz Meds, 50 or so Curlews & a sprinkling of Oystercatchers - all unringed.
