The last two weeks of August gave us an increase in sightings of our Gulls.

Ian McLean sent in 31 Great Black Gull sightings including P:27A making its first recorded visit to the Axe Estuary this year. Also Herring Gull 476 (ringed in Seaton Devon) seen on two occasions.

Dave Dawe also sent in four Great Black Back Gull sightings from the Axe Estuary.

We are happy to receive multiple sightings from the same day and the same site, nothing is refused all is welcome.
