Little Gulls

10-Apr-15
After an unsuccessful long trudge over the top and along the flank of Crook Peak looking for Ring Ouzel and seeing just 2 Robins, 4 Meadow Pipits, 6 Linnets, Sparrowhawk, Kestrel and 3 Buzards; I called into Cheddar Res and saw at least 5 Little Gulls (4 super adults) hawking insects with Black-headed Gulls in the SW corner as distantly viewed from the Cheddar Tower.

Per Twitter, this morning: 3 adult Little Gulls at Durliegh Res, and 17 Ring Ouzels at Embercombe Head, Exmoor.

Only 1 Little Gull at Durleigh by 2.45. Lots of L.B.B Gulls & a pair of Great B.B.

Re: Little Gulls

11 Little Gull still present at 7.30 this evening. All flying high and feeding around the southern edge. However, even better was 2 Sandwich Tern- my first patch record in 29 years of watching!
