Gulls continue to provide most of the interest with a new, immature Glaucous Gull being seen as well as the adult bird and the juvenile/first-winter Iceland Gull. Two adult Caspian Gulls, a Mediterranean Gull and a Little Gull were also seen at the Patch. Large numbers of Guillemots continue to feed offshore and move west.
