Goodwick- Mediterranean Gulls

We spent the afternoon supporting my Dad who was taking part in the Activity Wales triathlon in Goodwick. Driving on the A40 past Narberth a Goshawk flew over the car, a great start to today's birding. Whilst watching the triathlon I couldn't help scanning through a reasonable size gull flock gathered by a stream mouth on the beach. Apart from gulls there was 8 Oystercatchers, 3 Curlews, a Redshank and surprisingly 5 Mallards all feeding on a rocky area by the mouth of a stream. The gull flock was mostly Black-headed Gulls c40 including 5 Juveniles, 15 Herring Gulls and 1 juvenile Med. Gull. A further 2 juvenile Med. Gulls were feeding out in the bay and after about 10 minutes came to join the main gull flock.
