A six gull species walk!

It's not often you get six species of gull on a walk: lesser black backed; greater black backed; herring; black-headed, kittiwake and Mediterranean. Envious of Tom - especially the Mediterranean gulls. The Mediterranean gull was ringed -  E825 and was also recorded at Mumbles in January 2016. His walk was back along the coast from Bracelet Bay to Mumbles and then Swansea.

A mixture of Mediterranean and black-headed gulls - the bright red bills and really dark heads are the Mediterranean gulls.
