15th January 2019 - Goring Gap

Not much time for birding today due to other commitments but I managed to pop into Goring Gap twice once at low tide and once at high tide.

Low tide produced 11 Black-headed, 13 Common, 2 Herring and single Great Black-backed and Mediterranean Gulls in the roost field. Also a single Slavonian Grebe offshore along with several Great Crested Grebes, 3 Red-throated Divers and several Red-breasted Mergansers. Also a few Sanderling and Dunlin along the beach.

High tide, I didn't look at the sea due to fading light. However the roost field was far busier with c1250 Common, c1500 Black-headed, c100 Herring and a few Great Black-backed and Mediterranean Gulls.

Sadly no white wingers, which is what I hoped for but I will keep trying!
