I have the Outer Est. as Gun Point across to Daymar which is effectively The Doom Bar and beyond including Tregirls Beach. I park at New Polzeath and walk round to Daymar. I always have a good look at the gulls on Polzeath beach, but I have never seen a Med Gull there. I check the area by Stinky Valley as it is a gull roost with bins (from the beach). Only ever see a few Herring and a few Oysters. I thought your sightings of Med gulls were from the Padstow side in the fields. I will check Stink Valley next time to see if there are any waders etc.I have always been of the opinion that waders fly from the estuary to roost on the rocks at Trebetherick, especially Grey Plover & Dunlin.And no, before you say it, I don't have any problem with id'ing  Meds. I see 100s of the little beggars on the beach in Spain.Just seen Colin's notes from yesterday. Put together with mine and Derek's, it does tend to suggest that this site has a rapid turnover and usage by various species. Come to think of it, that would be reasonable for its position.</blockquote>
