    1. Hi Gareth, think they were probably driven off by the geezer at the stables! Almost 400 gulls of 5 species present yesterday, and the Yellow-legged was there again this morn until flushed.

      46 species today including that weird hybrid goose, so not far short of the magic 50...

      Cheers mate
