This morning’s garden soundtrack was a large mixed flock of #gulls incl. the unmistakable cat calls of Mediterranean Gull. Ca. 7 miles inland from their breeding colony on #HaylingIsland #MedGull have been increasing in numbers locally for a couple of weeks now. They follow the plough #birdwatching
A few of the Med X BHG Hybrid that is now nesting at Minsmere,Suffolk. #gulls #hybridgull #medgull #blackheadedgull
Mediterranean Gulls are still quite unusual on my patch, Deeping Lakes, so this 2nd summer was a treat to find on Thursday morning.

Interesting #seabird: new telemetry study about #Medgull foraging flights and prospecting behaviour in urban colonies in and around Hamburg: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Old #seabird: More than 21 years after hatching in Hamburg: #Medgull male green AKJC recorded the 10th winter at Ciboure, SW France (6 January). In between seen in one of the three Hamburg breeding colonies in 11 years.
First day on #StAgnes for our usual late October trip produced some nice birds incl #RedbreastedFlycatcher & #SiberianChiffchaff in the Parsonage, 7 BlackRedstart, #MedGull & CorysShearwaters off Wingletang and HorsePt and @hilbre.bsky.social & I found my first #CattleEgret on StAgnes #UKBirding
Lovely calm evening @GrimsarghWT after the rain. Drake #Garganey still present plus a 3cy #MedGull, #BlackTailedGodwit & 60 #Curlew on adjacent fields. Quite a show from the #Primroses this year plus the first of many #EarlyPurpleOrchids already in flower. A little gem of a site.
