Lyme Regis - Little Gull

With more than 1 Little Gull having been reported at Lyme Regis a few times recently it was worth a short journey over to have a look. And blimey it was showing well, often feeding just a few feet from the shore at Monmouth Beach and in view the entire time I was there. What a wonderful little bird to watch! It's definitely worth going to see it if you're fairly local and haven't had decent views of a Little Gull before.

 

Whilst there I just had to spent a few minutes with the Purple Sandpipers on The Cobb:

Nice iridescence!
