18th June - Mostly cloudy, light NW, 16C

Visited Shawell lagoons this afternoon.  About 200 Lesser-black Backed Gulls were present with a small number of Herring Gulls.  Carl was able to identify a couple of 1st year Yellow-legged Gulls too. Several colour rings were read on LBBGs, one was seen with a white ring and number that has been seen recently before, it was ringed last year in Spain and recently seen at Brandon Marsh.  These Gulls do get around, even if you think it is the same one you see, it likely is not.

The pair of Shelduck was present, but no youngsters with them.  A Lesser Whitethroat was singing repeatedly in the boundary hedge.
