Mediterranean Gulls

After the excitement of seeing the Brunnich's Guillemot it was back to some serious gulling. As we eat our McDonalds, Dave and I suggested we should have a look through the gulls on Radipole Lake car park. After a quick drive up the road to see the Glossy Ibis we cajoled Colin into swinging into the car park. We were soon into some Med Gulls and three of them were colour-ringed. All three were probably ringed in France, but I won't know for sure until I get a reply back.

In all we saw 12 Med Gulls: nine adults, two second-winters and a first winter.
