We are overrun with gulls here not to sure which kind. Perhaps black back? They seem to get along pretty well. Have some funny moments when the chicks start to fly, they land on the roofs of the houses, some of which are very slippery...

Good set of pixs Eric liked the Yellow Legs a stray over from the USA? We had one in our local reserve Titchfield Haven three years ago and had two weeks of birders from all over to see it! July 2015 D810 Attachment: YellowLegs1683.jpg (Downloaded 15 times)

The yellow legs was being harassed by a Redshank every time it went near its chicks. Of course they are the same class of birds, so they compete for same food source...so it may also be saying"my patch".

Just noticed that in the photo of the black headed gull hovering over the Caspian ....there is a Mediterranean gull on the extreme left. It's black head extends further back and down the neck and it's white eye ring isn't continuous giving the appearance of eyelids! So 4 gull species and an avocet in one shot.

You could be right Mediterranean Gulls seem to be mixing in with our local Black-Headed Gulls in Titchfield this year I find it very hard to see much difference. As you say Eric the Med Gull has whiter eyelids and also a thicked bright red bill.

But it may have been last year. That's a lovely image you captured. Lighting was poor here yesterday, for once overcast! Could have done with that sunlight but only emerged at Titchwell at 8pm! He was wandering about feeding quite rapidly ...so that didn't help. And ...I really could have done with that new 500mm lens.
