With a gathering of Gulls off Norwick I paid them a quick visit on my way to Lamba Ness seeing an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull among the feeding frenzy. An hour at Lamba Ness proved disappointingly quiet with just 3 Kittiwakes and 4 Guillemots seen moving north. I then toured a few bays but returned to Norwick being the only bay I found that was attracting Gulls where there were now 2 Lesser Black-backed Gulls present.
Lesser Black-backed Gull & Great Black-backed Gull at Norwick
First-winter Herring Gull at Norwick
Whilst March is that time of year when some first-winter Herring Gulls acquire a pale head through wear it was still good to have Josh Jones on-hand for a quick Gull masterclass in instantly eliminating any possibility of it being a Yellow-legged Gull.
