06/12/2020 Yellow-legged gulls at Cuckmere Haven, Sussex

Sunday 6 December 2020

Cuckmere Haven


Another afternoon jaunt, this time down to Cuckmere Haven on the south coast, to observe the gull roost to see if there are any Caspian gulls or yellow-legged gulls.  The weather was dry, with hardly any breeze but it was cold (5C).  There was a very helpful, local birder, already in place as I arrived.

  • There were at least 2 yellow legged gulls showing with the black-backed gulls.
  • Alas there were no Caspian gulls around.  I stayed until just before dusk but the size of the gull group actually dwindled - too many walkers I think.


1 out of 2 is not bad and it was well worth the trip.
