Sabine's Gull, Hobby, Peregrine, Linnets, Curlews, Little Egrets, Ravens

Went to Hale with Stu for the Sabine's Gull.  When we arrived there was no-one else there, so we weren't sure if we had the right spot, but not long after arriving I spotted the bird flying over a nearby field.  It then flew into a ploughed field with Black-headed Gulls and gave quite a good show, occasionally flying close to the path for some flight shots. 

Other good birds on the same trip included a Peregrine and a Hobby having an aerial duel, good numbers of Linnets, Little Egrets and a selection of standard shoreline birds such as Redshank, Ringed Plover, Curlew, Shelduck etc.
