I have had a few looks at the gulls in recent days. Although actual spring is still a little way off, spring gull passage usually starts in early February. There's no mega numbers here yet, although there does seem to be some more Common Gull about now, as well as a maybe a slight increase in Lesser Black-backed and Mediterranean Gull numbers...

Although it is clearly wintering here, and despite the fact my office overlooks the lower Axe Estuary, Monday was only the second time this year I have seen the Common Sandpiper...

One day it will be the American version, an overdue first for the Axe in my opinion.
