Twenty one this morning, going about their ablutions on the water. I felt a few of them must be colour ringed so I threw half a loaf of Hovis (in small pieces!) onto the little jetty with the plan of getting them on dry land a few metres away from the comfort of my dry warm car where could easily read all the letters/numbers on their plastic jewellery. I sat camera at the ready while every Herring Gull on site pigged the lot, not one Med Gull didn`t even fly the 100m or so to investigate. Not used to being fed then!
40 plus Redshank 2 Greenshank on the slip.
