This was a fairly quick visit to see if anything new had dropped in during the day. I did manage to see two Kingfishers, a species that seems scarce here this year. Nothing exceptional had arrived but there seemed to be a movement of Hirundines moving through with Swallows, Sand Martins, House Martins and Swifts. The Black-headed Gull pictured below was of interest.

Colour ringed Black-headed Gull "Black X.A51". The bird was ringed in Germany at fishponds of Diehsa, Saxony, Germany on 11th May 2018. It was ringed as a 3rd calendar year (at least) female. It was also seen at the breeding site on 28th June 2018.
