With 100's of gulls around, a favourite activity at the moment is 'spot the med.' There have been many sightings of Mediterranean Gulls along the whole of the local coastline and lakes including as many as 6 from Sandgounder's Hide. Early signs of season change maybe, with one adult in winter plumage moulting to summer, and a second , also adult, with more advanced towards full breeding plumage.
Crossens Inner was very wet today and carpeted with Wigeon, Teal, Black-tailed Godwits and Pink-footed Geese. There were at least 3 Barnacle Geese with the Pinkies and 3 Ruff could be picked out amongst the godwits.
Crossens Outer was busy too with 2 Buzzards, Marsh Harrier and a Peregrine.
