Juv YLG


Unfortunately my first juvenile Yellow-legged Gull of the summer was just a brief 'fly-by' before it headed downriver.

A half-hearted squiz off Maer Rocks early on produced just 18+ Manx Shearwaters and a couple Common Scoters. On offshore sandbars - 25 Sandwich Terns, 11 Mediterranean Gulls and 1 Sanderling. Mudbank - 117 Mallard, 19 Whimbrel, 1 Canada Goose, 2+ Common Terns and 1 juvenile Yellow-legged Gull.


Adult and juvenile Sandwich Tern.

Oak-tree Pug? A  faded Double-striped perhaps? A bit late for Oak-tree so not too confident of id.


Mullein Wave. Migrants on 19/7 - 2 Silver Y, 1 Rush Veneer, 2 Dark Sword Grass and 3 Rusty Dot Pearl.
