LANCS: Granny's Bay & Fairhaven 23 April 2008.

Watching the Ross's Gull at Granny's Bay, Ribble Estuary 23 April 2008.

The Ross's Gull was showing nicely at Granny's Bay today (23 April), just offshore. Bit distant for a photo but some good close-ups as it flew by the sea wall at Fairhaven. In the end it flew out to roost on the saltmarsh with a pack of Knots so I popped along to Lytham St Anne's Golf Course where a female Whinchat was a nice surprise.
