Record count!

Walked north towards With' this glorious morning...


Swim in the sea...Bud that is!

On the way back heard the distinctive call of Whimbrel (H.87)...2 birds heading south.

I then checked the gulls and connected with this...also heading south...


I noticed it landed further up the beach near the car. When I reached it I was amazed to count SEVEN Med' Gulls!!!

Here's a couple that came relatively close...


Then they were joined by a first winter...



Late news from yesterday. I spotted this Canada Goose (H.88) preening in a nearby ploughed field. Not common in these here parts...
