After work this afternoon, the shade of the trees along the west bank of
the
lake was most welcome!
Lots of birds present but nothing of real
note. A single Little Egret
appeared and an Oystercatcher was again present
along with two Teal in
eclipse and a single Little Ringed Plover.
Most
interesting sightings was of two Black-headed Gulls wearing colour
rings,
both adults. A white ring with "EEM3" on left leg. The second bird
had a
black ring with "R34A" on left leg and with a silver ring above the
knee on
the right leg. I have submitted details to the likely ringing
projects
(Netherlands and France) and await replies. I will post on the
sightings
website when I find out more. With most of the gulls laying down
I wonder
just how many more were there!
