It typically seems to always be a horrible grey day on my days off this year, but undaunted I took a trip to Great Yarmouth to look for the Mediterranean Gulls. They have been regular here for many years but the last time I visited was on New Year's Day about ten years ago. Bread = Med Gulls and within a few seconds some thirty plus Med Gulls, of varying ages, had swooped down onto the Hovis laden beach.
Before the Gulls a quick look for the Coues's Arctic Redpoll. A flighty flock included Lesser Redpoll, Mealy Redpoll (pic below) and Coues's Arctic Redpoll - three species for the "big year" ! Also en route was a few rain and sea drenched Purple Sandpipers.
