Although we have a few Mediterranean gulls at Aldcliffe now and again, these are the first pics I've taken that are almost worthy of public consumption. I managed to creep up on this attractive beast this morning as it fed in a field and got these eye-level shots..
Vestiges of vis mig were in evidence this morning. The following were noted heading over- mostly South:
17skylarks, 6 meadow pipits, 50 fieldfares, one redwing, 30 chaffinches and 35 woodpigeons.
Four tree sparrows were lurking near the maize fields, as were a goldcrest and forty greenfinches.

Cool bird..Cool pics..Cool birder..Cool girlfriend.
I delight at the sight of one of these beauties found with hundreds of Black-headed Gulls, always worth the grilling.
Nothing wrong with being a Med-head. I too find these smart gulls strangely alluring...
