Panting (Larus canus)

I don't recall the temperature that day, but it must have been rather hot. JE549 was panting in the shade. I did report the sighting, and learned he'd been banded nearby (i.e. somewhere on the Lade peninsula) the year before.

Another great image of this Mew Gull Ann and captured beautifully.
 
At least he found some dappled shade to cool down in, Ann.

Mmmm.... we had it a bit warm in May too, Ann.

That's a fabulous picture you've taken of this gull and isn't it great when you can find out their origins! Thanks for telling us about him lass.

A quite attractive gull taken in attractive dappled lighting. Poor thing, even its bling can't keep it cool. TFS Doc!
