Seems we have a strange gull at the farm these last few days. By all intents and purposes it looks from a distance like a good candidate for Iceland gull. Then as you study it more you kinda get the impression that its a tad ' dirty ' for Iceland. So naturally you will start thinking Kumliens gull, but even then its not all present and correct.

Have a look at Rotherhithe and beyonds blog

They have had what i think is the same bird. Thanks Dave for highlighting this. So what to make of it. Will it just become an Iceland x Herring Gull cross?

The teal are starting to strut their stuff on the northern lake. It's all posing with the odd stand off. Thought the fem teals don't seem to give a toss either way.. Such is life

Is Pete trying to start a new political party? If so, not sure about the salute - seen it somewhere else before!!

Still haven't managed to get any pics of birds recently. What with the onset of a cold spell I'm sure there will be something to photograph soon.

Just a couple of pics today. This kestrel is almost a constant companion when you stand on the mound. Im hoping it gets used to the human shape as it never comes very close.
