Yellow-legged Gull, adult winter, Dungeness, 22/9/2013

Mick and myself had a rather later start than usual,

Dungeness, 10.00 hours, the tide is coming in, there is very few gulls out on the mud, the highlight was to watch the lifeboat being launched !

Sanderling, 6

Lesser Black-backed Gull, adult winter

after an early breakfast, out to the fishing boats,
lots of good company today, DM, DW, MC, SH, (all hoping for a Caspian ! )


Artic Skua, 6+
Sandwich Tern, lots
Common Scoter, c 100
Great Crested Grebe

Swallow, 100's

Few Gulls and the poor light made flight photography a waste of time,
with only Herring Gull and Great Black-backed Gulls to look at !
