I'm not sure if I'm falling into a trap here. There's a 2cy GBB that likes this spot at the Reservoirs, and I've assumed it's the same bird. But, I could just be seeing what I expect to be seeing, so I thought I'd better check it.

The Cormorant and Grey Heron make it easy to get an idea of the size of the Gull, and it actually looks bigger than when I see it on it's own.

Thanks

note the strongly contrasting pattern with a lot of white as well as size in comparison to cormorant: 2cy GBBG it is.

Thanks Lou.

Bit of a beast isn't it? Looks like even the Grey Heron isn't safe|=)|

Yes they are, Lou; although I'm not sure who'd come out on top between the two.
