Pete Neatherway tempted us north to try for both a singing River Warbler and an adult summer plumaged Ross's Gull. Whilst the views of the Warbler were more distant that we would have liked the same wasn't true for the Gull that was feeding on emerging insects along the edge of a small pool and therefore showing down to a few feet from its small group of admirers affording spectacular views.
