150+ common gulls on sandown beach is a good local count. great crested grebe still. med gulls looking and sounding good now, lots of displaying from them in this flock while the other gulls remained silent suggests they are local breeders? sum plum meds will always be special cos of the memories from my time spring seawatching at brighton before they were common and seeing (and hearing!) them on passage was considered a highlight.
