Radipole Lake RSPB - Fri 29 Dec

A trip down to Weymouth to meet up with some friends and a quick opportunity to check out Radipole where it was rather disappointing with not a lot in variety. The Hooded Merganser was seen off the buddleia loop but there was very little else, just a single calling Cetti's Warbler and a few wildfowl. A few Snipe were also noted but the gulls provided most of the interest with really good numbers of Mediterranean Gulls, a couple of which were ringed and so far I've had news on one adult Mediterranean Gull that was ringed as a third calendar year bird in Belgium in May 2016, this is the first report of it since it was ringed. I'll post news of the other ringed birds as soon as I have feedback.
