Spectacle

Spent the day over at North Duffield partially emptying the house in preparation for next Fridays long awaited house sale completion! Great entertainment watching and listening to my 2 sons work out the best way to load the van!!

Nearly home when I got a text from Phil Jones informing me of a large group of Little Gulls off Withernsea sewage works. I joined him on the clifftop around 5 and enjoyed the wonderful sight of at least 2000 feeding less than half a mile out...

Easily the largest number I have ever seen and very fortunate to be able to enjoy this occurrence so close to home.

Note: I had seen a large group flying north off Holmpton last week but at much greater distance (H.107, P.160). Keep it quiet but it's actually a Patch lifer!
