Three Yellow-legged Gulls and a Great Black-backed Gull were amongst the over 500 Lesser Black-backed Gulls on the Slurry Lagoon this afternoon. In the bushes nearby was a family of Reed Warblers, just out of the nest.

Also seen yesterday on the Slurry Lagoon was the Peruvian Ruddy Duck, just back after a summer’s absence.
