At around noon, there was an immature Black-headed Gull roosting on the pond flats at Sagg Main Beach in Southampton. I viewed the bird for about 30 minutes as it preened and fed within a tight flock of Ring-billed Gulls. The bird took to the north circling at an extremely high altitude to the point where it was a mere speck in the sky only to reappear on the flats moments later.
Also of note were 3 gorgeous adult Lesser Black-backed Gulls.
