In the last week an Adult Mediterranean Gull Has frequented Kerr's field blending in with the Black Headed Gulls , being slightly bigger than the black heads it also has white primary feathers and a slight black bandit like mask behind its eye,

Other birds in the area, An outstanding 7000 Large Gulls were counted devouring Razor clams on the sandbank opposite the Lighthouse car park just after high tide, hopefully with a few more Observers a white winger (Iceland or Glaucous Gull ) or perhaps something rarer might be picked out of the group,
