Llys-y-fran

Similar pattern to recent visits with a good number of smaller gulls on the water on our arrival with the bulk of the LBBs coming in at dusk, with the feeling there were more yet to arrive. The gulls frustratingly stacked tight to the far side up towards the small western bay, so challenging to sort out what was here. Best was the biscuity Glaucous gull at 5:10pm and a Caspian gull. 6 Mediterranean gulls (5 adult and a 3cy) and at least 4 Yellow-legged gulls. 5-6 GC grebe and 3 drake Goldeneye. With Paul, Mike Hayes and Andy Bookless. Rosebush earlier: 5 Tufted duck (3m), c12 Mallard, Coot and a GC grebe.
