Crikey! For a minute then I thought I'd missed a day 😂. Alan's #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #ShoutItOut and the only photo I can find is this #Goosander shouting at the #BlackHeadedGulls, she was not very happy 😊 #Birds
Viewed against the sea and from right-hand side and slightly above, a gull flies from left to right and fulls the frame.

For Rob's alt' #BirdOfTheDay theme today of #Gulls here's the #BlackHeadedGulls that hang around on the river Severn, ready to steal the food that we give to the swans 😀
Alan's alt' theme for #BirdOfTheDay today is #DramaQueens so here's a female #Goosander giving the #BlackHeadedGulls what for on the local river 😅
No entry, sensitive wildlife area.
The black-headed gulls of Salthouse have an understanding of the needs, problems and feelings of others, and are of a sensitive disposition, especially when in their winter plumage.

Yes, the #River Severn in #Shrewsbury has burst its banks again, it's been like a YoYo all winter. At least it's fairly minor at the moment. Also noticed there another #SixOnSaturday #BlackHeadedGulls #Birds #Rain #Nature
For Rob's #Birdoftheday #TwoOfAKind trying to find photos I haven't already posted - so I've gone with 2 #Robins 2 #BlackHeadedGulls 2 #Pigeons and 2 #Swans
They're a bit dark but I just had to post these photos of the #BlackHeadedGulls getting very cheeky with the #Swans today. They will also qualify for @alan678.bsky.social #Birdoftheday alt' #Anatidae 😄
They don't show up very well but 20 odd #BlackHeadedGulls swooped around us. #birds #SeagullSaturday
Bird on the left holds a crust in its beak and is turning , wings are a right-angle shape , vertical right wing and horizontal left wing. Chasing is another gull wings in a shallow curve as it banks to follow. Background is dark green and brown vegetation.
"Gimme the crust!!" Black headed gulls fighting over food.

#Birdoftheday today is #GroundedGulls I'm not sure if these #BlackHeadedGulls qualify, there not swimming or flying but they're not really on the ground either 🤔 🤷
We've been to see how high the #RiverSevern is in #Shrewsbury. Not too bad at the moment actually. The #birds enjoy the extra space though, #Mallards #BlackHeadedGulls #Swans and you can even spot a lone #Goosander if you look carefully 😁
The #RiverSevern in #Shrewsbury is quite high again, even the #BlackHeadedGulls are keeping their feet dry. #birds 🙂

A first for @theroyalparks.bsky.social waterbird monitoring project. One of our #blackheadedgulls (blue 2369 -ringed in December '24) was recorded on a camera trap! And even better is that it was on a small island in the Ijsselmeer (Netherlands). 📸courtesy of @maartenhotting.bsky.social.

Caught and colour-ringed our last 4 #blackheadedgulls of the ‘24/25 season today in @theroyalparks including this smart lady. Safe travels guys and gulls (pun intended)
Black-headed gull in flight
With spring seemingly arriving many of @theroyalparks.bsky.social #Blackheadedgulls are thinking about, or already have left for their breeding grounds in continental Euope/Fennoscandia. Our #colour-marked birds have been seen this week in Southend and the Issjelmeer in the Netherlands. #migration
No problem. And for future information the majority of 'my' ringed #blackheadedgulls also have either an orange or blue colour ring (easier to read!). Examples below
Nice rapid movement of one of our @theroyalparks.bsky.social colour-marked #blackheadedgulls. Taking just 7 days from N. Poland to London presumably as a result of the onset of colder weather on the continent and at an average of ca.170km per day. #Londonbirds #ringing
This the 300th Black-headed Gull to be colour-ringed at Center Parcs Sherwood since the project started in 2018. Also had the 50th bird of this season and what is probably a day record of 13 birds ringed. Not a bad day. #ornithology #birds #birdringing #colourringing #blackheadedgulls
Morning walk today, feeding these yearly visitors. 🌳🕊💚
