Mediterranean Gulls, I found another one!

A second Med Gull has turned up at West Links, Arbroath, or was it always there??
Also from Victoria Park, Arbroath one of five Ringed Plover disturbed by some dogs!

Photos taken from distance to avoid scaring the gulls which were just behind the paddling pool but they eventually couldn't put up with the tourists and flew away. I note a difference between the beaks and will see if the Collins has any info.
