Session with Dave

Had a good gulling session with Dave today- juvenile/first-winter Glaucous Gull, second-winter Iceland Gull, first-winter Caspian Gull, a third-winter and first-winter Yellow-legged Gull, a few 'argentatus' and a noticeable influx of Lesser-black backed Gulls.  More from Dave HERE.

The other guys had the first Wheatear and Sand Martin for the year, 70+ Snipe and 6 Jack Snipe off the islands which are currently being worked on and a Woodcock.

Hi Peter would love to try and tick Caspian and Iceland Gull before spring officially starts - if it hasn't already ie before they're gone till autumn. Anyone around for some gulling this Saturday or the next?
