Observation details
This was a really nice bird that I hadn’t factored in!! They started out on the beach itself, where Dad bagged them with the scope; I was very very excited when, upon prowling closer, one of them was so smoky coloured and straight billed that I felt sure it was a Black Tail!! Alas, when a Gull frightened them into the air, I had to face that they were all Bar Tails... and there’s no shame in that!! They must’ve looped up to the ponds behind the dunes, for they spent the rest of the trip ambling around, or preening in a row. How handsome they were!
