Benacre

 Two adult MED GULL  one was colour ringed Red with white lettering. To far away to identify.  6 GOLDENEY, 24 SHELLDUCK,  5 TURNSTONE  and 2 OYSTERCATCHER no other waders at all.

The thing is with Benacre never see anything odd, as it is always to far away? This bird was associating with BLACK-HEADED GULLS by just fiddling in shallow water. It kept itself away from all other B.H.G. as well.

So what was odd about it.

1. The bill was an odd shape and distinctly black, but with a yellow tinged base.
2. It had a smidgen behind the eye with some in front but also a shadow heading up to the top of the head.
3. Legs: They seemed pale and not distinct in being black or ready to turn red.
4. The forewing had some juvenile featheration.
5. The tail was black feathers fringed.
6. Primary coverts had signs of juvenile as well
