Can I be bothered to look for a dirty looking Herring Gull type in amongst 1000s of Herring Gulls on a Rubbish tip. Nope! |

I'm off to Titchwell tomorrow + have WeBS counts to do on Sunday, but if ID is confirmed (+ it does look promising for a potential 1st for UK) + it hangs around I may go to Rainham next weekend.
Tomorrow Rainham will be full of twitchers + there's so many places it can go + other gulls to mix with. Hope it hangs around. |

I bet Rainham is busy today. Gulls arnt really my thing but there is certainly a fanbase for them here in Essex! No surprise if you see the clouds of them over Raiham and Pitsea tips! |

There were thousands and thousands over the landfill site next to the marshes on thursday. Wouldn't mind betting there's one or two rarities in that lot that haven't been spotted yet.

I'd love to see the bird, but I must admit that I don't like great crowds of twitchers.
I think I'll wait until my usual volunteering day on Thursday. |
