I arrived just after 08:00 an already gulls were at the sandpit. A 'wave' of gulls appeared from the right and amongst them was the third-winter Iceland Gull, first found by Steve Lister on Thursday, and the subject of my last post.
The third-winter Kumlien's Gull also put in a brief appearance, but I only saw it on the ground facing me and then in flight.
A pair of Pintail were a welcome sight as the last record of a Pintail in this area was in 2017. A Barnacle Goose was with Canada Geese at the A5 Lagoons.
