Bowling Green Marsh RSPB, Devon

Ross's Gull 1 1st sum
Spoonbill 1 adult
Mediterranean Gull 1 1st sum
Little Gull 2 1st sum
Spotted Redshank 1 adult sum
Little Egret 12

Year: 258 (Ross's Gull)

Bizarre to see a High Arctic Ross's Gull walking around on the mud next to a Spoonbill and several Little Egrets in the middle of June.


Ross's Gull, considerably smaller than the adjacent Black-headed Gulls. It's been here for at least 3 - 4 weeks and apparently spent the first week misidentified as a 1st summer Little Gull.



Spoonbill and Little Egrets.
