Little Gull


Adult winter Little Gull - Mudbank on this morning's high tide.

Mudbank - adult winter Little Gull, 1 Pale-bellied Brent Goose, 66 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 10 Sandwich Terns, 24 Redshank, 1 Turnstone, 2 Shoveler, 1 juvenile Common Tern, 1 Swallow, c75 Black-tailed Godwits and 3 Bar-tailed Godwits.
A quick look off the seafront earlier produced 2 Common Scoters and 3 Balearic Shearwaters moving east. Orcombe was too blown out but 1 Yellow Wagtail, 2 Goldcrests, 4 Swallows and 2 Sparrowhawks were seen on a rapid whiz round.





Little Gulls rarely show this well in Exmouth. Whenever I've seen them even closer it's been into the teeth of a gale-force wind!
