The Little Gulls were all at long-range apart from the harbour birds and for 'adult', read 'adult or 3CY'

Little Gull - 21 adults and presumably the same 7 2CY as yesterday - the adults were mainly at the seaward end. Therefore 32 Little Gulls seen in total this morning
Kittiwake - 2-3 2CY
There may have been other Kitts and Little Gulls resting on beach with BHG, but not visible from O Edge
IOM passenger ferry followers 1215ish
Nice idea in theory but subhorizontal heavy sleet straight into the optics & poor visibility rendered it pretty impossible. c15 Kittiwakes in the murk (but could have been 100), at least one ad little gull, presumably one already recorded
Middleton NR model boat pond late pm
Little Gull - ad, 3CY and 2CY
Med Gull - new 3CY - very faintly-marked wingtips
