I have been away for alot of winter but the times I have spent at home have been have been pretty lean for Gulls.
Todays strong winds and overcast skies seemed good for gulls and a high tide session at st Margaret’s yielded 9 different Caspian Gulls: 3 First winters, 2 second winters, 2 third winters and 2 adults. I was joined by some of South east kent’s finest: Nigel, Gerald and Phil.
4 Yellow legged gulls also present, second winter below.
I had meant to post some photos from the, apparently no longer, spot in the harbour where Gulls were loafing. It seemed very productive and I was sure it would be great throughout the winter but for some reason i havent seen a gull there since the end of December. So to mark its short life here are some Caspian Gulls loafing in the sand pit.
Setting off to Islay tomorrow for Amy’s birthday, I hope she likes geese.
