26th May - cloudy, becoming breezy, mos/gusts, SW/W, 17C

Shawell sandpit/landfill; evening.  
Three Gadwall, two Shelduck, two Canada Geese broods, 5+ Sand Martins, c15 House martins and two Swifts.
A Yellow-legged Gull among the Lesser-black Backed Gulls.

A colour ringed gull (yellow/black) P:8P1, thought initially a Herring Gull, but also some head features of a Caspian Gull.  Carl believes from a mixed colony in Poland, so maybe a hybrid.  It had quite bleached wings too.







Details are in, from a 'white-headed Gull' colony in Poland.
