Juv LBB gull
Juvenile B H gull
Younger juv BH gull
Adult BH gull moulting hood
Adult LBB gull
Ample Shoreline
Once again today the clock beat me so just time for a late afternoon trip to Ogden after the torrential rain showers.
Things looked poor till I firstly picked up a juv LBB on the shoreline in with the Black Headed gulls, followed by an adult LBB gull further along the shore with another 2 out on the water.
The Black Headed gulls , which are taken for granted and overlooked , are worth a study at this time of year with a wide range of different ageing plumage.
On near passerine alley a BH gull was noisily mobbing a wader at the edge of the water which turned out to be a Common Sandpiper but try as I may I could not get a shot of it as it kept mobile up and down the shoreline always part hidden with the high edges and trees.
Bags of shoreline so hopefully something else will be dropping in over the weekend.
