A damp, overcast day with light easterly winds and the
Hooking census route produced very little with much reduced wader numbers on
The Links including a Bar-tailed Godwit and 60 Sanderling. An early evening ringing session just
produced a new Robin (with a brood patch) and a re-trap Garden Warbler before a
very smart looking, small, dark backed Lesser Black-backed Gull was on the bare
field south of Holland which showed many features of a near-adult Baltic Gull.
Probable Baltic Gull, although because of overlap with intermedius birds it can never be proved without a darvic ring from their breeding grounds!
