Herring Gull resting in shallow water. Maybe waiting and hoping a school of herring will swim in on the rising tide?

Generally we only get black-heads in the town round here, then every now and then lessers arrive and less commonly these Herring Gulls. I don't do gulls, but with the streaky head, I presume winter plumaged adult HG. Commons are more common out in the country. TTTW and a big crop.

Taken through the window on the football pitches just over my garden fence. will catch up during the day

Taken yesterday in Grimsby Town Centre looking for food.

Taken at Fairhaven lake.

A change today...No, I'm not homesick, just posting some UK birds as I'm running out of US different species pics.

Had a great day out with Aivars yesterday...We visited a Peregrine site in West Sussex first. Three young uns keeping the adults really busy, then we moved on to the Kittiwake colony at Seaford.

Herring Gulls sit atop of the cliffs to nest looking down on all the prey just waiting to snapped up.

Three more from fridays trip to the park...Nice to see one of these Gulls in a different setting to on the beach or on the rooftops.
