15 November 2014 Great Black-backed Gull Two Great Black-backed Gulls were unusually near the shore on the mud flats north of the Toll Bridge. A closer look and one of these large gulls was playing with a Flounder almost as wide as the bird was long. It seem unable to feed on it but was unwilling to part with its trophy, carrying the large fish as it swam out with the tide under a cloudy sky. A single Little Grebe dived under a few metres away and surfaced with a large prawn in its beak. There were the usual gulls and waders including a Little Egret, Redshanks and Dunlins. glaucus.org.uk/Nov2014.html
