With no work to go to at the moment I’m making the most of the Gulls, which seem to be abit hit and miss. I drew blanks at Shakey beach for almost 2 weeks only to see 5 Caspian Gulls in one day on the 31st December, the same can be said for Deal which seems abit better at the moment. Perhaps a little influx of gulls is upon us.
Below are a few 1st winter from Shakey on a very windy day, hence the sea spray all over the lens!
Below: 2 caspian and 1 YLG (bottom bird), the left hand Casp is a Czech yellow ringed individual 03C:U
A couple of Casps from Deal in the past few days. Gerald S has seen a half a dozen or so recently.
Above a large 1st Winter and below a delicatly plumaged 2nd Winter. Lovely stuff
