Oh yes, reminded as I just going through and deleting some photos.

Here's a gang of teenage hoodlums we saw loitering around a construction site next to the university opthalmology clinic the other day.

I think this was just after some adult bird got disgusted enough to fly up onto a roof and grumble at them some more.

There was a lot of screaming. And begging for food, after a while. Those creepy humans hanging around might be good for something.

Nope, sorry buddy. Nothing for you here! We haven't had lunch either.

Can't blame a bird for trying. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(Hell, I would have given them something if I'd had anything besides chewing gum and some emergency low blood sugar candy on me. Doubt they needed that nearly as much as I did, tbh.)

Some other guy on his phone started cussing at them when they decided to try it on him. They, naturally, gave it right back. No clue what else he might have expected.

Fine! I'll just go peck at cigarette butts, you miserable POS! 😤

Wasn't sure exactly what species they might be, but Merlin came in handy again! Lesser black-backed gulls, evidently, based on both photo and sound ID. Half-grown, from the looks of things.

Not sure about the older one they were arguing with, but guessing probably the same. Very possibly close family. 😄

Could you draw a black backed gull? :)

day 20

today's bird is the great black-backed gull!

- they are the largest member of the gull family

- they sometimes hunt other adult birds like grebes and puffins

- cornell calls them the "king of the atlantic waterfront" (fancy!)

- some great black-backed gulls can live up to 26 years!

Battle Royale

Pool Party! (E-3)

These birds are loosely grouped by their associations with water, and because I didn't want the family BR to get too big. Keep your eyes peeled- there may be someone here who got a little lost, but we don't discriminate here!

05/03/23-Walk at Lakeside; photos taken today in this set are of: 1. Glorious crocuses which it was a pleasure to see in the welcome sun north of the steam railway station, I had hoped these crocuses which spring up every year at this spot and were the first I ever saw at Lakeside in 2021 would be out soon and I was overjoyed to see purple and white ones, extremely beautiful blooms. 2. One of the daffodils tantalizingly close to coming out in the front garden as I left for the walk. 3. Monks Brook. 4 and 5. Views. 6. Greylag Goose, these seen well alongside a Canada Goose pair on the grass west of Kornwestheim lake as I saw on Friday. 7. Great Crested Grebe, good to see this one of the courting pair on Kornwestheim Lake and one on each of the other lakes too a good bit of bonus time with them with this weekend walk. 8. Another view. 9. Red deadnettle a key cog in the wheel of a great flower walk at Lakeside and on the way with an array of species seen. 10. Buds on a tree, it was brilliant to see uplifting buds and blossom glorifying the landscape shining well in the sun at Lakeside and from home today. 

Other highlights at Lakeside included breathtaking views of two circling Buzzards over the lakes and a Green Woodpecker darting across near the bowl. Chaffinch in a strong weekend for them, Great Tit including one singing well, Moorhens, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Starlings, Wren, Dunnock, daffodil at Lakeside too, some worn snowdrops, violets and the exciting call of the Ring-necked Parakeet heard on the walk were key parts of the walk too. A delightful walk embraced by spring.

Round 1, Side A: Match 10

[Image ID: Two pictures of gulls. The left is a Mediterranean gull standing on a wooden post. The right is a lesser black-backed gull standing on a beach scattered with small pebbles. /End ID]

The Mediterranean gull (Ichthyaetus melanocephalus) is a small gull that lives and breeds around the coasts of Europe, the Mediterranean, and northern Africa. Their range has expanded in recent decades. They typically measure 36-38 cm (14-15 in) in length and 92-100 cm (36-39 in) in wingspan. They have a black head, white eye crescents, white body, pale grey back and wings with white primaries, dark red legs, and dark red bill with black band. They eat fish, insects, and carrion.

The lesser black-backed gull (Larus fuscus) is a large gull that breeds along the northern coasts of Europe and Russia and migrates to winter as far south as western Africa and eastern North America. They typically measure 51-64 cm (20-25 in) in length and 124-150 (49-59) in wingspan. They have white underparts and head, black or dark grey wings with black tips and white "mirrors," yellow legs, and yellow bill with red spot. They eat fish, eggs and nestlings of other birds, carrion, and shellfish by dropping them from the air onto rocks below to break them open.
