GORING GAP: A fruitful seawatch from George V Avenue produced an immature
Iceland Gull, a flock of six
Avocets, two
Sandwich Terns, a
Shelduck, two
Pintails, 44
Common Scoters, 13
Shovelers, four
Teal, 279
Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 15
Red-breasted Mergansers, 30
Great Crested Grebes, two
Fulmars, 12
Kittiwakes, three
Curlews and 18
Red-throated Divers. Presumably the same
Iceland Gull - ageable as a juvenile - was then in the roost field early afternoon, where it was joined by another two
Sandwich Terns. Seven
Mediterranean Gulls in the fields included a 2CY and a 3CY. The high tide wader roosted didn't materialise but 21
Sanderlings were logged. A
Mistle Thrush was in the Plantation and 12
Meadow Pipits and three
Skylarks were noted.
