BROOKLANDS PLEASURE PARK: A juvenile Yellow-legged Gull, four Common Sandpipers and a Little Grebe this morning (AK via SOS).

GORING GAP: A 3.5-hour watch from the block produced a Bonxie, two Common Scoters, four Teal, two Common Terns, two adult Common Gulls, three Turnstones, 36 Gannets, 42 Sandwich Terns and a juvenile Mediterranean Gull. Four Little Egrets and 150 Starlings were on the beach (DKC).
