Amwell

Little Gull

Quite a few people at Amwell after a report of a possible Azorean Yellow-legged Gull (it was probably just a Herring Gull). It wasn’t seen, but in the gloom two Yellow-legged Gulls were found (an adult and a 2W) and a 1W Caspian Gull (or hybrid?). Then, I found the bird of the afternoon: An Adult Little Gull, something of a rarity in winter. Cetti’s Warbler(s?) and a Bearded Tit were also heard.
