Moin 😊 Blowing the cobwebs away. are hoovering in the wind. They are moulting, so inner primaries are missing.
I could watch them for hours, but little black dog wants to walk on.
Have a good day.

I really hope they're trying something like fixed wing drone flights over big urban areas? I reckon you can accurately count gulls from 5cm gsd.

Anyway - the estimate is that of the total population in England, 61 - 71% of herring gulls and 66% - 80% of Lesser black-back gulls are urban nesters.

Again no sign of bird flu in the gulls, which is great. Lots of evidence of rats, but it doesn't look like they really predate the gulls. On the contrary - when we spooked up the colony on arrival, one must have panicked and coughed up a recently eaten young rat! Also saw a couple of pellets containing rat bones, as well as plastic and shellfish.

@javaraptor my tips:
follow everyone who posts anything you find interesting - you can always unfollow them later
Boost anything you find interesting so other people can find it
Favourite so they know you liked it!
Hashtag as much as possible, without search it's the only way to find anything
Read your local timeline, on ecoevo it's brilliant and I've found so many new science folk to follow through it
Follow hashtags! I follow various and related ones, and found lots that way

After finishing counting gulls in 5 years worth of drone imagery ("And Alexander wept, for their were no more gulls left to count"), all counts (but one), when multiplied by 0.7, lie within 10% of the traditional ground count with quadrats

Being on the coast, has a significant population of herring gulls, noisy and aggressive birds. They seem to be everywhere here, but are actually 'red listed' as their habitat shrinks and population declines. I see loads of them (probably the most common bird I do see), and when I put my mind to it they are great photography subjects.
