heya, is there a peak month/week for this?

am guessing early august?

They roost close to the shore then head off to sea in the day to feed?

I might be in yorkshire, about 10th augs, still time to see them ?

Havent been to hornsea for years, is this all happening around a sewage outfall?

Last YNU report is a really up to date 2015 and the Little Gul numbers peaked on 22 Aug building up from mid July.
