Already some pictures from this location at the Lesser Black-backed Gull topic, but also loads of Herrings present here, now the raise the level of the beach by over a meter. Read somewhere they use 445.000 m3 of sand to manage this project.

So about 6000+ gulls, of which 65-70% are Herrings. Here an image of alocal bird (green tibia PT, ringed by Roland-Jan Buijs and Hans Keijser) together with Russian yellow ringed Herring KW52 in the background.
