Yellow-legged Gull

Bert called me as I was returning from shopping, etc with my son, with a probable adult Yellow-legged Gull, in a mad dash I made it to see it sat down in the SW corner. Red orbital eye ring, head shape and tone of grey all good.

It did eventually stand and showed straw coloured legs, but its primaries had no white and after input from my good friend Adam, means it is an adult with well abraded primaries....thanks Adam.

The day before on the bird walk we had 2 Swift high over LFGP, a Hobby and nice flock of Swallows and 2 Sand Martin in the car park field, both Hobby and Sand Martin being rather uncommon this year.
