The last week or two has seen Med Gull numbers soar with
lots of the regulars starting to show up. A scan through a flock of Med Gull
will always reveal several colour rings which allows individuals to be
indentified. Radipole is a great place to read rings as you can just sit in
your car, scan the car park and read away. The only downside is the occasion
pratt who decides to walk straight through the flock...
It was nice to see this fella back yesterday. I saw this
gull as a juv when I started working at Radipole Lake and I’ve caught up with
it every year since.
Plenty of others around but for some reason a lot of birds
were starring at the car park?!
See
Wierd...
It goes without saying that all the rings are reported into
their respective owners.
Gulls are pretty much the main attraction at Radipole at the
moment except for this drake Garganey which Dave Chown found on Monday. It was
still about yesterday afternoon when I eventually decided to trawl through the
Teal. It doesn’t come very close and when I did it soon few off again!
