Med Gull
Second-summer Med Gull, Broom GP, 30th June 2008 by Steve Blain. After saying second-summers are rare at Broom in my last post, I go and find one! The black wing-tips are hard to see here because of the angle of the light.

Med Gull
First-summer Med Gull, Broom GP, 27th June 2008 by Steve Blain. Med Gulls are always a bird to look out for at Broom during the summer months. Adults, first-summers and juveniles are put in regular appearances, however second-summers and winters (3rd calendar year birds) are exceptionally rare, with only a couple of records.

2 Red-footed Falcons
Red-footed Falcon and Gropper
I tried to get a shot of the two Red-footed Falcons passing each other in mid-air..
Close, but no cigar.. :-( It was a bit tricky to work out what falcon was crossing the one you were following in the camera..
Another shot of the obliging Gropper at the MVCP, this time a digiscoped image using my parents Canon A720IS compact camera hand-held to my scope. I'm pretty happy with both Gropper photos, but I think I prefer the shot I took yesterday with my SLR, even though the image size is bigger on this one.. Photos taken by Martin Green.
