Broom GPs - Little gull

For the first time this year, a subtle change in wind direction to near easterlies and the floodgates opened as many inland sites saw an influx of some our spring specialities most notably little gull with arctic tern, black tern, and waders filling the boots of local patchers.

Despite the modest return at Broom, two little gull were present on Peacocks, a glorious adult and a second year bird.  They are always so great to observe and a real spring treat.  A female goosander was also present - a scarce bird here and an oddity for this time of year.

Other sightings for the afternoon were two wigeon, two egyptian goose, four oystercatcher, two little ringed plover, 15 common tern, 80 sand martin, and two yellow wagtail.

Once again I left my camera SD card at home :-/
