I arrived at about 2:30pm ready to see the gulls arrive to roost. Several thousand did come in the closer it got to dusk. Mick McQuaid was already there when I arrived and he managed to spot a Meditteranean Gull in with the large number of Common Gulls that were present. Surprisingly we could not find any colour ringed gulls this evening. Mad panic, probably caused by an unseen raptor did not help.
