Only so much crossword I can take so I asked Sue if she would like to look at Gulls at Redcar Tarn.
Sue opted to look at clothes with her friend Jane at Sainsbury's so I had a drive out to Redcar Tarn, Keighley.
I was hoping to catch up with the Iceland Gull originally seen by IH.
The awful weather improved on the way there and on arrival there was a few spots of rain before it dried up - cold though!
A number of birders were here including BS and KM.
BS pointed out the bird and I was lucky enough to get some pictures of the Iceland Gull and the Caspian as well.
The Iceland Gull flew off after I'd been there 15 mins or so and I did not see it again in the hour or so that I remained there.
Not every day you get a Lifer, a good do!
Amazing piece of water - Redcar Tarn.
I bet in would fit into Ogden Water, 50 times over, yet it gets so many Gulls in comparison to Ogden.
A Gullet?
Unsure of the ID of the Gull (front).
Front gull, Herring with a fluffed up head. Round smaller head usually indicates a female. Glad you got the Iceland.
ReplyDeleteThe LBB pic is a stonker.
Cheers Bri.
