For only the third time managed to pick up and read a Black-headed Gull colour ring this evening: white J9LE. Ringed as an adult (female) in Oslo, Norway, in 2012, she has mainly been seen in Norway during the breeding season, except for one record from Germany and then 4 previous sightings in Pembrokeshire, all by Sam Baxter: Fishguard Harbour 24/10/2019, and the Nevern Estuary on 22/12/2019, 16/11/2020, and 22/12/2020. Another neat movement between sites in the County!
At least 28 Mediterranean Gulls, 2 of which were ringed (couldn't see most legs as they were in the shallow river water running across the beach), both seen before (one from Germany, one from Belgium). The Ruff was with a 200+ strong flock of Lapwing that eventually settled on the lagoon by Crabhall at dusk, and it was a surprise to see 3 Golden Plover on the mudflat, not far from the wintering mini-flock of 4 Grey Plover - a neat Pluvialis double act.
