June 12th (Oare Marsh)

I went to Oare marsh this morning,with Bob Bland and the two Geffs (08:30-11:00).( dull,with a cold northeasterly).Our target bird was the returning Bonaparte`s Gull (now its sixth year).

We found the bird feeding along Faversham creek,mainly in the area of the out flow.Its still in full breeding plumage and looks immaculate.
