Meds 25/07
The Med Gulls were mostly in the pig fields east of the piy when I arrived. Counted 39 but there was a big area screened by piggeries. At c.4.45pm a mass of gulls descended onto the north pit. I counted 9 juvs, then noted a CR bird and when I looked back they were all high up in the air and heading off in the Lepe direction. Went to Lepe and the tide was still high so game over!

Sightings 26/7
There were 35 Med Gull juveniles at 1pm. The most meds I managed to count at any one time was 80 but the birds were coming in for wash and brushup and then flying out again so there were probably several hundred. 12 CR birds of which I managed to read 11. The other - hungarian ringed bird - jumped back inmto the water before I could get all the letters.
A Little Ringed Plover was present pm.
