My Dad and I went to Newgale in search of the adult winter Kumlien's Gull. We searched the marsh for an hour, but no luck. On the marsh there was a small flock of
Teal, 3 drakes and 5 ducks. Also, there was a small gull flock, containing my first
Mediterranean Gull (adult winter). In the field alongside the marsh there was a flock of
Oystercatchers and
Curlews. Finally, after an hour and a half search I found the
Kumlien's Gull, alone on the side of the brook in the north of the beach. It stayed for 10 minutes then flew out and around the headland.
