Gull Day

First-winter Yellow-legged Gull

Despite doing a near dawn to dusker on the gulls at the farmlands there was not much return. The juvenile Glacuous Gull was good to see again and we also had a first winter and adult Yellow-legged Gull. Unfortunately no Caspian Gulls (despite at least six being seen in last few days) and still no Med Gull- becoming a real scarcity in these parts.

Back to real work on Monday (not as hard as a week of gulling!) 

Estimate on gull numbers in last week include:

Herring Gull 10-15000+

Black-headed Gull 3000+

Lesser Black-backed Gull 250+

Great Black-backed Gull 50+

Common Gull 30+

Caspian Gull 6

Yellow-legged Gull 4

Glaucous Gull 1

Iceland Gull 1
('Northern Herring Gull' 10+)
