Mediterranean Gull, Wigeon, Reed Bunting

Still very dull and overcast. A Reed Bunting in the big hedge area was the best of the small birds, while a female-type Wigeon close inshore just past the Sea Cadet hut was slightly unexpected.

The Med Gull was once again in the gull group by Bib Knowl dam wall, but as I was watching, a group of kids on sailboards approached, causing all the gulls to take flight, so I managed to get a few pics of it flying.
