When I arrived at The Patch DW & JTM were already there and had seen a 1w Iceland Gull briefly, fortunately the Iceland Gull reappeared and showed reasonably well on the beach and around the boil. Among the all the Gulls around The Patch were at least 7 Mediterranean Gulls one of which was a another Danish ringed bird, there were also several of the Pitsea/Rainham ringed birds, Norwegian ringed birds, another from North Yorkshire, 1 from Weymouth another and from Guernsey.
While most of this morning was spent looking at Gulls a few more Red-throated Divers, Brent Geese and a party of 6 drake Eider flew up channel.
