What you looking at?
Spent this morning on Colyford Common where we have been ringing, ringing with a difference though. It involved a plastic transporting machine, 3 kids and a TV crew (all of which remembered to FORGET their wellies!). CBeebies had joined us to film some kiddies programme. I was rather hoping Michaela Strachan, of even Kate Humble would turn up, but instead we had a young 'gingerish' chap. He needed to film this this week because he's off to Africa next week to film Big Cat Diary! It's alright for some....
Netted a few bits and bobs, but nothing extreme. A couple of Siskins flew over, the start of autumn vis mig proper!?
I just found a pici on my camera, I took it on Wednesday night in really dull light when it was really windy - hence why it is REALLY crap! But it does just about show a nice intermedius Lesser Black-backed Gull (the right hand bird of the main group) alongside its British relatives. I say intermedius but this could even be a fuscus candidate, it is smaller and longer winged than the other LBBG's, and it is very black-backed, plus note that sloping forehead and teeny looking bill.
