Sunday Twitch

It's a bit of a rarity for me - birding on a Sunday. However, an invitation to twitch the Kumlien's Gull on Littlehampton beach couldn't be turned down. Actually the bird was finally seen on the golf course and at a fair distance. A bit like searching for the proverbial needle but with the help of other birders I managed to get on it, after the distraction of an adult Glaucous Gull putting in an appearance.

It's in there somewhere

Adult Glaucous

Heads up!

After a half an hour of scanning every gull on the west beach we opted for home and a cup of tea. Of course about half an hour after we left the bird relocated to the east beach and was easily seen.
