Post subject:  Gib 09.10.12 Little gulls

Following good numbers offshore yesterday, a significant increase today involving a minimum of 600 little gulls feeding offshore and moving south.

One flock of around 100 came in form the north with most of them landing on the beach for a while.

At one time, there were 283 offshore in one scope scan. Most are adults.

Still up to 30 sandwich terns around, two arctic terns, a common tern, 3 bonxies, one arctic skua and a juv long-tailed skua - the latter presumably the same bird over the last three days.

Also for yesterday offshore, a sooty shearwater lingering, a little auk and two velevet scoter.
