    I post a lot of this species, but at least they're easy to see, more so than eg warblers moving around in foliage but never showing. This is a 4cy bird I guess. Thank you for your comments on my pictures, stay safe and well, and good birding! John

    I still flounder sometimes when trying to age gulls. Playing it safe, 2cy can't be far out. Thank you for your comments on my pictures, stay safe and well, and good birding! John

    I haven't been posting for a while (or doing much photography) because of some eye trouble, but it's now sorted. This looks like a fully adult bird in summer plumage, but as ever I'm happy to be corrected. Thank you for your comments on my pictures, stay safe and well, and good birding! John

    Some slightly late Saturday Fun. These three heavy crops (this is the first) are unattractive photos, but at least there's no shortage of action. The lower bird has a food item in its crop, and the other is doing its level best to make it disgorge it. In some of the 30 or so shots I took, the...

    London Herring Gulls seem mostly gone now, mostly to breeding grounds on or nearer the coast, though some to inland wetlands. During the last week, when a large gull has flown by, it's just as likely to have been a Lesser Black-backed. I have difficulty ageing Herring Gulls, but at a guess this...

    First winter bird (I reckon; corrections always welcome). Passerines haven't been showing themselves as much as usual so far this year, but gulls roam the wide open skies all year round. Thank you for your comments on my pictures, stay safe and well, and good birding! John

    1st-winter bird (I think). Thank you for your comments on my pictures, stay safe and well, and good birding! John

    This is the bird I posted a different shot of last November. It flew very close past my window, none have been quite so obliging since. Perhaps a 2nd-winter, I could be wrong. See you in the morning folks. Stay safe and well. John

    Not sure of the age of this bird, best guess 2nd-winter. Once again I'm way behind on my browsing, and need to catch up with what you've all been doing tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, thank you for your comments, and stay safe and well. John
