Little Gulls at Brooklands Park

Probably the most photogenic Little Gulls I have ever witnessed. These delightful birds have been gracing the southern end of the main lake at Brooklands Park in Lancing for the best part of a week now! Speaking to 2 other birders, there was a first winter bird present on the Thursday evening  only, just hope it wasn't a Ross's!





 
One of the birds present is sporting a fantastic pink flush and have also been coming to bread, there was also a Water Rail calling and several Teal. Other observers have recorded summer plumage Med Gull, whilst a Chiff chaff was heard singing on the morning of the 24th when I was there! spring is here??
