As well as the land-based congregations as featured in the last post, on one particular day the shoreline was enthusiastically attended by a great many gulls - hundreds of Common and Black-headed, with smaller numbers of Herring and Great Black-backed.
Witha natural ringside seat provided by the tide's shaping of the sand and dry seaweed, I spent a very comfortable hour or so in the thick of the action as the gulls feasted on an emergence of invertebrates, unperturbed by my presence.
