| Bird Family : | Larini - Gulls |
| Bird Group : | CICONIIFORMES |
| Red Data Status : | Least Concern |
| Remarks : | About a hundred bird were huddled together against the driving wind and rain. This one looked particularly forlorn. A few yards away there were a dozen Harlequin Ducks and a single Red-necked Grebe. Amazing how much you can sometimes see even in the worst conditions. - PM |
