Little Gull - Hydrocoloeus minutus

            Another of the Little Gulls driven into shore on Storm Babet.

They were feeding in the relative shelter along the beach on the falling tide as the storm abated, swooping down and plucking their food from the surface, small invertebrates and other marine life churned up by the storm.

Adult birds have dark feathers on the underwing that helps identify them as such, the younger birds have white moulting into a pale grey before turning black.

A freshwater bird as a breeder despite being the worlds smallest gull they spend the winters at sea, storms pushing them to shore.
