Yellow seems to be the colour the young ones are wearing this year.

A varied day, it managed to stay dry, with the odd sunny spell, till lunchtime then light showers. Very heavy thundery showers mid afternoon. It then became quite sunny in the evening. A fresh south wind all day, very blustery during the thunderstorms.

A morning check at low water 09:00 - 10:30

Peregrine Falcon 1 - as I reached the saltmarsh it had just caught a passerine, probably a Starling, 

Peregrine with a small catch

It took it to the shore 

It didn't seem overly impressed with such meagre catch. Perhaps not a clip for those of a more sensitive nature.

Unsurprisingly, there were only 2 Linnet around the saltmarsh plus 3 more at Red Nab

Rock Pipits 2 on Red Nab

Shelduck 1

Little Egret 4

Mediterranean gulls 63 minimum

There were 20 on Red Nab, but they quickly took flight. Whether something spooked them or it was just time to feed I don't know. Fortunately, I did spot a new yellow ringed juvenile before they moved on.

Yellow ringed juvenile Mediterranean gull - part of a German scheme.
Details for this one awaited, but we have now received the history of the
red ringed bird seen on Monday - ringed at Bugyi, Hungary 20/06/24
Monday's sighting was its first

This is the beach where the Mediterranean gulls like to feed, but most
of it is covered in soft mud at the moment. All the Mediterranean gulls
today were on the thin spit at the waterline, detail below.

I confirmed that 56 of the white specks at the top of this shot were Mediterranean
gulls, likely some of the others were as well. There were 7 additional juveniles
feeding at the seaward end of No.1 outfall and resting between the outfalls.
Unfortunately, tomorrow's tide is lower and probably won't expose this
spit. The gulls moved off as soon as the tide covered it.

I returned to Red Nab as the tide was reaching it at 12:30. Unfortunately, the rain had started and most of the gulls were hunkered down behind the rocks. I did manage yet another yellow ringed juvenile.

The fourth yellow ringed juvenile this year, from three different schemes.
This is the second ringed at Norfolk. Ringed 25/06/25 last seen there 7/07/25

This nice shot by Janet at Heysham Moss Nature Reserve yesterday.
The water level is low and the Common Darters were concentrated.
Two pairs and a male here
