Fly Flatts, an afternoon with the gulls.
Fly Flatts late afternoon had a cold WNW>4 but clear conditions.
With much more shoreline now showing ,as the water rapidly drains , big gulls are being attracted down with 138 big gulls, 80% Lesser Black Backed and 20% Herring along with 24 Black Headed.
Hopefully the numbers will build making a good chance of that special bird arriving. I,ve had several Yellow Legged Herring so far this year so must be due for a Med or white winged gull as well as a Caspian.
Otherwise things were quiet with nothing in the sky other than gulls whilst the water held 6 Teal and 51 Mallard.
My suspected Caspian gull from the 17th has been in front of my gull panel,
KM/MC and has been confirmed as a Yellow Legged Herring gull with detailed id explanation from both parties.
Once again many thanks to Mick and Keith for their undying interest in the gulls on my blog , both of which I don,t seem to be able to wear down but don,t worry lads, with gull season upon us I,ll be back with yet more of the same until I finally strike gold.
Ironically my suspected Caspian at Fly Flatts on the 17/10 was found just 2 years and 1 day from my genuine Caspian at Fly Flatts on the 16/10/2017.
Just to show the similarities , although the genuine Cas is a year younger bird, these are pics of the two.
