BROOKLANDS PARK: A visit this afternoon to scan through the gulls didn't produce the desired juvenile Yellow-legged. There were four juvenile Herring Gulls among the small gathering though, as well as a Lesser Black-backed Gull and a juvenile Black-headed Gull. Two juvenile Grey Wagtails were feeding in a bare patch in the reedbed, where two Reed Warblers sang and a Grey Heron stalked the margins. The Mute Swan family was going strong with its six surviving young now well grown. David Campbell

THE DOWNS (Lychpole Farm area): Four Shelducks (adult and three juveniles) still. SOS

LANCING: Two adult Mediterranean Gulls west along beach. SOS
