Caspian Gull

Second summer arrived to join the pre roost gathering, also present were 2 Common, 2 juv. Meds and 2 Yellow legged 30/07/08.

Another juv Med Gull

Juvenile Med Gull, Broom GP, 26th July 2008 by Steve Blain. Although this looks very similar to the first bird, the head is darker and the patterning on some of the feathers is slightly different, so I think this is a new bird.

Wood Sandpiper

One of the two that arrived on the 25/07/08

Curlew Sandpipers

3 Curlew Sandpipers, Broom GP, 25th July 2008 by Steve Blain.

Another Juv Med Gull

Juv Med Gull, Broom GP, 24th July 2008 by Steve Blain. A slightly less advanced bird than last nights juvenile. We also found an adult at Broom tonight too, making four individuals in two days!

Med Gulls at Broom GP

Ahhh sunshine!
