Med Gulls at Llanon

Late news from Saturday evening: at sunset there were 17(!) adult summer plumage Med Gulls at Llanon (south beach car park) with the mixed gull flock on the ploughed/reseeded coastal field. There were also a number of immatures too, but too far away to count in the fading light. As someone else has commented, where are they coming from? Worth keeping an eye on this field.

Also one ad Med in the Black-head colony at Ty Gwyn pools earlier, where one of the Little ringed plover chicks was foraging along the pool edge very close to the roadside hide, rather to the concern of its parent!
