ICELAND and MED GULL roost on SPADE OAK

I actually made it down to my first gull roost at LMGP this year this afternoon. I was hoping that the Hedgerley ICELAND GULL might come in and indeed at 4:30pm a 2w Iceland Gull came in to roost, which is presumably this bird. Viewing from the west bank it was at the back of the spit and was on view for about 20 minutes, but unfortunately managed to get lost in the throng before Alan S appeared, though I expect it probably roosts here quite regularly. An adult MEDITERRANEAN GULL was seen earlier, but could not be found whilst I was there (Adam Bassett)
