Gulls

A look at Fishbourne Creek was disturbed by an absolute idiot of a dog-walker letting her charge put the gulls and geese up...but present after the melee were 100s of Common Gulls and few Mediterranean & Lesser Black-backed Gulls...




Cattle Egrets

There were 22 Cattle Egrets in "Misery Martin's Farm" at Hunston (they hate birders looking at their fields... I wonder why that would be...I have no idea...)
