Hi All,

I posted some pics a few months ago of a mixed bunch of Gulls etc and a few people seemed to enjoy sorting them out.

Just in case..... here's a bunch more!! Taken Sunday 28th at Rye Harbour.

Sorry about the picture quality, but taken at a bit of distance (x60 on the scope, x4 on the camera!!)

It was a fantastic sight..... We saw a few Med Gulls and Terns throughout the day, flying over and some good views, but when we got to Rye Harbour at about 5:00pm, we were surprised to see so many mixed in with (mainly) Black-Headed Gulls.

We did quite a few counts and reckon there was approx 30 Med Gulls and approx same number Sandwich Terns - beutifully lit in the later afternoon sunshine. Very good views through the scope, but a bit far for good photography.
