The returning adult Ring-billed gull was back at the dam for yet another year (I believe it was first seen by Paul and Dave in 2006). Quite an interesting visit with 5 Yellow-legged gulls (4 adult and a 1cy), 3 Med gulls (an adult, a 2cy and a 1cy) as well as an adult BH/Med gull hybrid, possibly a returning bird from a few years ago? Just as the light was going a large white gull came into view, alas it wasn't the hoped for Iceland but what looked like a leucistic Herring gull (dove-white, with a pale wash to the primaries, dark bill and eye). Another decent sized roost with squadrons of gulls drifting in from the south all the time. Otherwise 10 Greylag geese, only 3 Great crested grebe and the RN grebe had been replaced by a Little grebe below the spillway. With Paul G.
