Little Gull

I went over to the Exminster Marshes this morning to look for the Black-Necked Grebe that was reported yesterday & I came across three Little Gull`s on the first pools 2 Adult birds and a Juvenile so I stopped and had a look at them before heading off down the marsh to the reservoir where the Black-Necked Grebe showed well but distant but still my first for the year , I then went back to the Gull`s and tried to get some shots of them but didn`t have a lot of luck today and just ended up with these three shots , the first 2 are of the Juvenile bird & the other is an Adult , I was just leaving the marsh when a male Merlin flew across the road right in front of me ... another first for the year so in the end not a bad day .
