Walberswick,

Birthday bash with family after lock down. Physically distant, brain out of kilter.

A very worrying and out of character BLACK HEADED GULL. showing some very odd plumage. To start with an adult head which means in its second year. But the odd back end in the tail trailing edge is black. Also the tail seems long. But the bird shows some of the odd marking in the wing with the P9 and P10 showing black fringing. Not very often seen and always a second look required. Movement of SWIFTS off the water.
One MEADOW PIPIT parachuting down from 50 feet. With young SWALLOWS and four OYSTERCATCHER, Two overflying REDSHANK and one GODWIT. The family of CROWS had an issue with each other.
