Dull, cold and grey day

Just for a change Ithought I'd have a look at a few Gulls.
Rampside
The large mixed flock was again in the fields around Page Bank Lane but I couldn't find anything other than Herring, Common and Black headed.
Roosebeck Outfall
Only the common stuff here also.
Aldingham
Only Common and Black Headed Gulls here.
With the tides being late afternoon I decided to have a look at Cav Dock late afternoon.
 Out on the mudflats were
 60 Herring gulls
40 Black Headed Gulls
 6 Greater Black Backs
 30 Common gulls
 2 Med Gulls  both 2nd winters, 1 was wearing a red colour ring but it was too far to read
 20 Bar tailed Godwit
 120 Knot
 180 Dunlin
 loads of Curlew and Redshank
 1 Peregrine
 20 Wigeon
 60 Shelduck.
 Most of the gulls were roosting on Dova Haw and Campfield point
