      A check through the gulls and waders on this morning’s incoming tide:

      28 Mediterranean Gull – 15 adults, 1 2nd summer, 2 1st summer, 10 juveniles – all gradually departed SE between 9.15 and 9.50 am.

      Oystercatcher – happy to remain on the diminishing areas of sandstone at Red Nab much longer than the gulls. A careful check through the large flock (2000+ ? but not counted) revealed at least 4 colour-ringed birds, including one probably from Devon / Cornwall (details awaited), one of as yet uncertain origin and two with faded colour-rings or unreadable codes; plus at least 7 metal-ringed birds.

      Also: 1 Wigeon and 1 Whimbrel

        A prompt reply from the Devon & Cornwall Wader Ringing Group about one of the c-r Oystercatchers:
        Ringed at Dawlish Warren, Exe Exstuary, Devon on 4/2/18 and also seen there on 18/2/18 and 3/12/20, but not seen again until today.
