On a grey and murky day at Redesmere I carried out the WeBS monthly bird count. It was a pretty quiet affair to be honest, with the usual suspects of mainly Canada Geese, Mallards and Coots. Sprinkled in were a fly over Great White Egret, a Little Egret, some Goldeneye and a few species of gulls. The majority of the gulls were Black-headed, but there was one Common Gull and a couple of Lesser Black-backed Gulls. Always nice to see something not so common here.
You can see more of my sightings and here:

Lesser Black-backed Gull
These are beautiful photos and videos, Adam.
ReplyDeleteWe also do a garden bird count here.
I participated yesterday, too.
It's something we do once a year, and I've been participating ever since.
I wish you a wonderful weekend.
All the best, Irma
Hello Adam,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your video, love the sounds of the geese.
Great captures of the Gulls.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend.
...Adam, we enjoy the cousins of your Gulls here, I wish you happy birding, be well.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of the seagulls. Bird counting is exciting to participate in.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous ~ very professional photography ~ thanks
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the live Canada Geese sound effects in the video and your photos of the uncommon, common gulls. :)
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of gulls here. Your photos are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSuch nice photos of the gulls and I enjoyed seeing the swan swimming on the lake!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Adam. It's still dark, and a cup of coffee is the perfect way to start a round of blogging...
ReplyDelete...Bird counts are initiated here by the Federal Nature Conservation Agency. We're counting too! However, we regret the few discoveries. Mostly titmice come to the feeding station, and also a blackbird. Rarely a robin.
I admire your wonderful pictures. They tell stories.
Great photos, Adam! Even on a murky day, it’s a treat to see the Common and Lesser Black-backed Gulls.
ReplyDeleteOh those Canada Geese! They are so plentiful here and oh so boisterous!
ReplyDeleteWe have bird countings also here. But it seems the become less and less. Nice gull photos. Thanks for your kind visit to my blog.
ReplyDeleteHave a good time
