Seems like each Wednesday is a bit of British weather! Another rainy, cloudy, and windy evening at the Meadows. Eight hardy souls joined us as we searched for birds, and despite the weather we had a great time and enjoyed some nice birds. The highlight was a great comparison look at Laughing, Great Black-backed and Lesser Black-backed Gulls. Oh yes, there was that Merlin darting around chasing dinner. Leaders: Warren Cairo and Bill Smythe.
