25/01/18Mediterranean GullSpring Vale100P Campbell
15:00
An absolute minimum gathered offshore with BHG's. Too busy looking for our elusive BFG to count them. A very large number of the smaller gulls had gathered off Seagrove bay as dusk approached at high tide, it would be well worth a count up of Meds one evening.  
24/01/18Mediterranean GullSpring Vale37P Campbell
16:00
all ads. In a flock of BHG's just offshore as the tide was an hour off high.

Approx' this number from the car seen from the milly road, a good population of Wintering adults seem to like this area in the vicinity of Thorncross Farm.
