Edderthorpe gulls....

Arrived just as light was breaking through to the sound of large gulls calling, not something that happens regular here. Some were already flying off northwards and there was a large gathering on the water which had clearly roosted overnight. Counted 210 Lesser Black-backs and amongst them were 3Yellow-legged (2 adults and a juvenile) and a nice adult Caspian Gull. The Caspian was one of the last to leave, heading off north-west just before seven oclock. Spent most of my time here looking at gulls but other birds I saw;- Pintail, Ruff 3, Dunlin 8, Black-tailed Godwit 4, Golden Plover 2.
