29th July

A quiet day on the land although 950 Sand Martins and four Yellow Wagtail flew through and three Green Sandpipers and a juvenile Cuckoo seen at the Long Pits.. A check of the gulls feeding at the Fishing Boats proved worthwhile with a colour-ringed juvenile Caspian Gull appearing among them along with two juvenile Yellow-legged Gulls and ten Mediterranean Gulls.
