No Change!

Some of the 1,000s of Gulls at The Patch the last couple of days
I have spent several hours of the last couple of days at The Patch where 1,000s of Gulls have been on the beach and over the sea. Despite intense scrutiny by myself, DW and OL we found nothing out of the ordinary, although we did read many colour rings. While there c400 Brent Geese flew east, Red-throated Divers, Gannets, Kitiwakes, Guillemots, Razorbills and of course Cormorants could be seen constantly tooing and froing off shore, along with the odd Great Skua.
1 of 100s of Guillemots around the fishing boats
Small numbers of Razorbills off the fishing boats
1 of 2 Grey Seals off the fishing boats
The 2 Whooper Swans were still at Cockles bridge this afternoon along with the 3 Cattle Egrets.
