Thayer's Gull at Minsmere. A lifer. Shame the views were either prolonged but poor, or good (including wing stretch and flight) but very brief. Lucky to see it at all I guess and it took some work just to get those views. Was seen much better yesterday I'd have probably gone then if the pictures were available. Looks spot on. A good day which included a few new migrants: Sand Martin, Swallow, and Sandwich Tern. A couple of Caspian Gulls, at least four Mediterranean Gulls, and a pair of Firecrests were the supporting cast.
