Anyway, got a new life tick today, I finally spotted a mediterranean gull, at Burgess Park of all places. Maybe it’s easy for experienced birders, but I still find gulls a bit challenging. I was following up a report on the London Bird Club Wiki. After scanning several dozen black headed gulls, I was about to give up and then I found it, just before it flew off away from the pond. No question about it, lovely grey and white wings, no black edges, and well developed black hood markings.
Also acouple of egyptian geese (new to me this year).
