Jimmy tells me four Sabine's Gulls have been reported at Rainham, so off we go for a quick visit before lunch.when we arrive Brian is already here & onto the bird for us to get a view in his scope, not bad only half an hour since we left home & I have another Lifer.
Harry & Barry are here as well always nice to bump into them for a catch up.
Brian has to leave us as he has to go out with Sue for some family lunch date.
Jimmy & I walk down towards the group who look as if they have another bird in view, but not so when we get up to them, they tell us the Sabine's Gull that they had been watching had flown up river.
We do get another view before we go, but a long way off now.
We do establish that it is two birds that we have seen, also seen while here at least 7 Black Terns, plus some Dunlin & Black-tailed Godwits walking about.
A Seal was out of the water on the foreshore, always a good sight to see by the Thames.
So a good morning, short but sweet to give Jimmy & myself another lifer & 251 year ticks so far for me.
