Little Gull in the late afternoon sunshine
A mid morning and a late afternoon visit to Burrowes today produced of note a Garganey, 4 Little Gulls, 9 Sanderling, 15 Curlew, a Whimbrel, 4 Turnstone, 2 Knot, 2 Grey Plover, 4 Dunlin, a Common Sandpiper, 2 Redshank, 4 Ringed Plover and several Oystercatchers.
Highlight this afternoon was a Carrion Crow that had the temerity to try and take a Herring Gull chick, it is now an ex Crow, one of the adult Herring Gulls got hold of it and drowned it quite slowly.
