The ACP Gull Roost got off to a slow start and not many large gulls were in early. The first notable was the usual 4th W Caspian Gull at 15.25hrs. At 15.50hrs a cracking ,dark, juvenile Kumlien's Gull was picked up by Pete Smith. The other observers, Steve and Kev Denny and Brian Leeman got onto the bird quickly and a few photos and a short video were obtained in the fading light. (See link for video below). After that, big numbers of large gulls started to come in. Next up was a 2nd W Caspian Gull at 16.00hrs, followed by a new, pale, juvenile Glaucous Gull at 16.15hrs. After the last 3 nights of frustrating gull roosts, persistence was finally rewarded with an amazing roost tonight.
