Nothing new to report to day, a later visit which gave me chance to check some gulls. 193 Lesser Black-backed Gulls came in during the afternoon and with them single Yellow-legged Gull (3rd winter), Herring Gull (1st winter) and a Common Gull (2nd winter).

Checking through the gulls I came across a Lesser Black-back with a colour ring. I've had a few in the past, generally ringed in Cumbria or the Bristol Channel. I put the ring down as NG19 but it could be NC19, I'll update here with any feedback.

There were still 6 Pintail and 4 Wigeon and I got to 134 Teal before a juvenile Peregrine came in and sent them flying all over the lagoon.

4 Golden Plover flew over heading south but showed no interest in stopping.
