A late afternoon visit to Little Marlow was certainly interesting. Large numbers of Gulls from the five most common species came into roost along with an adult and a 1st winter Mediterranean Gull and an adult and a 1st winter Caspian Gull (although the latter only seen by Adam B). Things livened up a bit when a juvenile female Peregrine flew above the gathered Gulls and scattered them everywhere! It made a couple of half hearted attempts to catch something but did not appear to be successful. Just before leaving Adan B picked up the long staying Pintail close to the main island. Five Snipe and a Kingfisher were also seen.
