This Juv. Yellow-legged Gull flew south past Soil Hill this morning. The pale primary windows were the most striking feature in the field but I had some concerns about the amount of markings on the tail. However, have discussed it with some of the guys from Spurn and the tail markings are apparently within an acceptable level of variation for YLG, with other features combining to confirm the ID.

Speaking of Spurn, had a visit over this afternoon for the Collared Flycatcher, and came away with an awesome supporting cast of Pectoral Sandpiper, White-winged Black Tern, Red-backed Shrike, Icterine Warbler (Trapped and ringed), 2 Spoonbill, Great Egret, 2 Little Stint and a random August Redwing. Back to the Hill tomorrow...
