The first LBB gull of this years brood turned up a Cosmeston yesterday (Lol Middleton) and we took this shot this morning

Perhaps it is one of the Flatholm ‘chicks’ that we saw last week. I guess it’s not much more than 7-8 weeks old. Still, it was holding it’s own (almost) in the scramble for bread. There was also another baby LBB on the lake.

There seemed to be a few more birds around than what we have been seeing with a couple of common sandpipers, goldcrest, long tail tits and reed warblers etc. There were still 3 chicks with the moorhen pair that Lol spotted for the first time yesterday at the north end of the west lake- the Herons must be keeping well fed on fish!
