Gulling (again)
Much colder today (around 3 degs) with a northerly wind. Needed that extra layer.. The gulls were hungry and, tempted by a few bits of stale bread out of the fridge, quite a few Black-headed and Herring Gulls came in to feed. I counted 9 different colour-ringed Black-headed Gulls (see last photo) and one Herring Gull with a metal ring came close enough to read the number. All were ringed in Denmark but, hopefully, there will be some interesting data when I hear back from the ringers. Here are a few photos... Any ideas for a caption for the first?
