Kenneth, for info there are reckoned to around 150 breeding pairs in the UK now and getting on for 3000 wintering birds. There was a major influx in 1989 thought to have originated from the North Brittany colonies. I have seen as many 100 on my local estuary in North Devon alone.

population here seems to be static, I usually see one or two at this location. I find the dark legs and flesh coloured feet somewhat comical Thanks for your comments
