Having recently noted that juv (ie < 2 month old) plumaged Med Gulls were unusual in Pembs, I was immediately trumped by 3 at Saundersfoot. & there were 3 at Newport yesterday, with just 1 adult.
I wonder where they have come from. I've never seen a ringed juv. Are birds now breeding in Ceredigion or environs.
I've also wondered that about the juv BH Gulls that start appearing in late June. I've had 2 ringed ones in July - 1 from near Birmingham & 1 from Essex. I've never had a ringed BHG of any age from a Welsh colony.
