sorry, there seamed to have been a problem, the text split and I'm sure I didn't make a mistake. Anyway, go and have a look at the "mating Silver Gulls" I posted.
Here is one of a very busy Gannet. She was very busy flying back and forth over us at the Rookery gathering seaweed to build her nest. It is a magic sight, we have already been twice in a matter of weeks.
Thought I'd dig out some oldies for this one... some of my favourites from the past . They have been posted here before probably but most of the members these days wouldnt know anyway
Great photos everyone. Birdie I love your pelican eating and Headsie I love your pelican too. I think my first one is a great cormorant because of the white and yellow on the cheek and white under the bill. It did swallow this fish. My second one shows lots of different water birds, some migratory, at Stockton
This juv osprey was practising his diving for fish by swooping a tree and grabbing leaves. Unfortuniatley I had to shoot into the sun but it was great to watch.
Here are some Sivler Gulls I saw on Sunday. If you like them, I posted a pair mating in Best Photos. Go and have a look if you are interested?
