Gulling

I enjoyed my usual Monday morning visit to Beddington today with a good variety of gulls present. The highlights included self-finding a new adult Caspian Gull and seeing a first-winter plus good views of one of the second-winter Iceland Gulls, as well as an adult Yellow-legged Gull. I had a walk around the mound and picked up a close fly-by pair of Curlews that appeared to drop down but couldn't be found again.
