I'm not a great twitcher nowadays but having the possibility of a 'lifer' only twenty minutes away was very tempting!
Having arrived at South Moors LNR just south of Havant it was only about 100m to where a group of birders were standing just west of the Hayling bridge. Yes the Sabine's Gull was showing well and in fact was a very obliging bird coming far too close to photograph with my fixed 800mm lens! Here are some photos!
I tried in vain to obtain a good photo of the bird in flight and may return with a more suitable lens in the next day or two but here is the only rather poor shot I obtained.
...but it does show the wing pattern...a real clincher to the i.d. even at a distance!
What a bird!
