Had to go hospital visiting tonight at B.R.I. where gulls were flying over in good numbers. Seen this flight path from Soil Hill where the gulls follow the valley over Bradford then Thornton towards TMR and Fly Flatts. All LBBs apart from 2 Common gulls that I picked out over the hospital grounds, thats the beauty of this hobby, you can take it anywhere.
Havent seen anything in the way of movement over Queensbury today but we,re into July now so anything could happen, we,ve got to get Greenshank and Green Sandpiper at Fly Flatts this or next month.
Checking up on last nights sighting at Fly Flatts on the YL Gull and oddball Herring gull the Herring gull is probably the bird, or similar, seen and photographed last year at Ogden by NK and DJS.
Good birding this weekend.
