Lodmoor Late Evening Visit

I managed  a quick visit to Lodmoor RSPB Reserve as the light was beginning to fade.  Sightings included 3 Great White Egrets (7 reported earlier in the day), 3 Little Egrets, 10+ Black-tailed Godwits, 6+ Dunlin and c150 Mediterranean Gulls!

Among the 300 or so Gulls was just 1 Common Gull and this colour ringed Herring Gull.  This individual was stood there as though he owned the place and I thought there would be quite a few previous reports. However that was not the case and a swift response from the ringer showed that it was ringed in Coverack, Cornwall in July 2018.  This was the first sighting since it was ringed!
