Horstead Mega (kind of)!!!

On Saturday, I planned on a quick walk around 'The Heath'. Upon reaching the pig field, which has been holding increasing amounts of Gulls each day, I had a quick scan. This revealed 5+ Lesser Black-backed Gull, 1 Great Black-backed Gull, 20+ Black-headed Gull, 1+ Herring Gull and best of all, a first confirmed record for Horstead and my first on the patch as well, a Yellow-legged Gull!

Yellow-legged Gull

You've heard of a goatsucker, but this gull looks to be a sowsucker. Anyway, bad jokes aside, a male Bullfinch called and showed briefly behind me before I headed back as it started to rain.
