One of the nice things about the DWT Brownsea hides, is Birds sometimes drop in close to the hides, especially around the muddy area in front of the Avocet hide. Today, it was a Second Summer Mediterranean Gull. Adults and First Summers aren't uncommon visitors to Brownsea, but Second Summers aren't as regular on the lagoon. I think it's the first individual I've seen of this age right in front of the hide.
