Teifi from The Webley

A quick reply as usual from The Severn Estuary Gull Group with details of a Lesser Black-backed gull I spotted on Tuesday. Blue ALS was ringed at Stoke Orchard landfill site in Gloucestershire in Feb 2007. Since then it has been reported ten times in Coruna, Spain Feb 2008, Dec 2010 and Jan and Feb this year.
From The Webley today rather a lot of geese and Widgeon. The only waders were 3 Dunlin, 1 Grey Plover and 4 Redshank. Most of the geese were part of the 1200 Canada flock that are now around the estuary together with the regular hybrids and Snow goose. The Barnacles spend most of the time on Cardigan island so unusual to see them close up. The numbers are building by about 10 each year with 52 counted today.
A drake Pintail was seen from The Webley 2 days ago, a good record for the Teifi but it didn't stay long.
