We went a few hours before low tide and here are some pics of our finding...

| One young lad had a bit better luck than us - Thanks to him he let us take a pic of the crab he found |

When we got back to the car we saw what we thought was two black headed gulls, but on closer inspection we realised they were two different birds. One was indeed a black headed gull but the other one was a Mediterranean gull. We noticed it had a ring on it's leg with some number and letters. So we came home and did a bit of research by searching for the number and was surprised there had already been a lot of sightings in Mumbles some dating back to 2009. I have reported my sighting to the BTO and hope I get a history of it's life back soon :)
