                           Herring gull, argentatus, larger and darker mantle than others

                                       Jackdaws fill the sky

A quick lunchtime dash to Andy C country, Northowram cricket club area, to check out the gulls there reported by AC yesterday, see his Northowram blog.
Up to 200 small gulls , 70% Commons and 30% Black Headeds with 4 Herring gulls present but quite a distance away with 3 being adults and one third winter still showing a hint of brown streaking.
The one I put as Argentatus had a real butch look about it and deep forehead making it look like a Yellow Legged, especially with the darker mantle, but luckily it walked up a mound in the grass showing me its pink legs.
Up to 200 Jackdaws were present along with  18 Stock Doves and c 100 Starling.
