Juvenile MEDITERRANEAN GULL fits in neatly with local passage

Jack O'Neill, David Bilcock and Steve Rodwell all watched a juvenile MEDITERRANEAN GULL in Pitstone Quarry this afternoon, fitting in neatly with the arrival of three juvenile Meds at Staines Reservoirs last night.

What was presumably the same bird dropped into Wilstone Reservoir for ten minutes at 7.15pm this evening and showed well from the hide. The juvenile LITTLE RINGED PLOVER, Common Sandpiper and Little Egret were all present, as well as drake Eurasian Wigeon, Shoveler, Teal, Common Kingfisher and 100+ Sand Martins (Jonathan Nasir)
