New Brighton this afternoon.
Went to New Brighton today in search of Storm Petrels, unfortunately I missed out on them but whilst checking a mixed flock of gulls I did find my first self identified 2nd winter Mediterranean Gull - see pictures below - whilst not exactly rare and becoming more and more common they are still locally scarce as they do now breed in some parts of the country.
Shot showing differences between 2nd winter Med Gull and Black Headed Gull.
