Another day another Med

I popped in for a quick visit before school pick up and this adult Med Gull did the same thing.  It is probably the regular unringed adult that has been seen over the past few weeks.  It appeared shortly after I arrived and 10 minutes later after all the gulls flushed (as they do regularly), it decided to move on.

After a poor year for this species in 2015 - I only had 2 in the whole year and there were probably only 3 or maybe 4 in total for a species that is normally quite regular here - it is nice to get two in the first week of the year.

A Chiffchaff was moving silently through the lake side vegetation as I left - my first at the lake this year.
