Gull watching rarely gets better than it did this morning. Almost three hours in Paradise (well...OK Chouet Landfill actually...but it may as well have been Paradise!). It was just so good to be watching more than
150 LBBGs again, after their winter absence. Amongst them were
60+ colour ringed birds, many of which will have been recorded in
Iberia or France this winter. The early morning rain and drizzle and all the mud could not dampen my spirits...it's always a fabulous feeling to welcome these gulls back home at the start of each season.
As if this was not enough excitement I also got very close and prolonged views of a 1st Winter
Iceland Gull and a 2nd Winter
Yellow-legged Gull.
