Went back to Patrington Haven on Saturday morning with Martin and Roy. Martin’s first chance. Unfortunately didn’t show any better than Monday and with the sun didn’t get a better picture.
Juvenile Ivory Gull
Seems to visit the donated fish by the pumping station early morning then spend the rest of the day more distant on rocks only rarely returning to feed. Not the chaos I expected and could have parked close to the end of Outstray Road. On site the birders seemed to be evenly split between those actually watching the bird and others sat hoping it would return to feed.
Viewing the Ivory Gull
A male Hen Harrier had been seen over Welwick Saltmarsh earlier.
Little more than a tick and run and a quick update with the old friends you only see intermittently at twitches.
Maybe another try for better pictures if it hangs on much longer.
Patrington Strays.
Spent the rest of the day at Hornsea Mere.
