Richmond Bank

Yellow-legged gull 1+ adults, 1 possible 1st summer
Herring gull 1000
Lesser black-backed gull 1000
Buzzard 1
 
Year 230 (Yellow-legged gull)
 
There have been up to 12 Yellow-legged gulls at Richmond Bank recently, and there may have been 12 today (though I doubt it!). I find Yellow-legged gulls very difficult, especially if they are not adults, so it was a relief to find a nice adult standing on the mud in good light, surrounded by Herring gulls and Lesser black-backs.
