Glaucous at Ynys Hir

This young Glaucous gull landed in front of Red sitting in the the Breakwater hide just after high tide this morning.  We all had good views and I managed this pathetic digi pic from Dolmen hide when it came up to sit on the mud.  It had pinched some food from a greater Black back earlier and subsequently been chased around.
We also had great views of a Goshawk crossing the river and a Spotted Redshank gleaming in the sun with  quite a lot of its commoner brethren around on the inner edge of the saltings.
Well worth getting down there tomorrow for the Spring Tide.
