Glaucous Gull, Peterhead


This 2 cy bird was present at Peterhead on Saturday, coming to bread at the Ugie estuary.











And a rather washed out Herring Gull - this bird has not commenced its complete moult and so all feathers are very worn and faded.


A dark-eyed Herring Gull.

Some juvenile michahellis from Sant Carles de la Rapita, Ebro Delta, Spain taken on 26 June.












This bird shows how fine-billed some juvs can be.
