Kumlien's Gull at Crymlyn Burrows & RBG still at Blackpill

A watch over the decent sized gull roost in Baglan Bay this evening, eventually produce the darker of the two 2cy Kumlien's Gulls (seen at Fendrod recently) on the beach at Crymlyn Burrows. Lots of gulls flew in late on from the Swansea direction and the Kumlien's Gull turned up about 18:15. 446 Sanderlings in the wader roost was also deserving of note. (MHi) The adult Ring-billed Gull was present again at Blackpill, this evening at 17:00 (PM)
