Once again checking out the gulls washing and roosting on Burrowes pit at the RSPB reserve. At least three Caspian Gulls of different ages, all of which have probably been around for a while. I managed to get some shots of two of them.
As I was closing the gate today I went back to the reserve at mid-afternoon and had the Great Northern Diver uncharacteristically close on New Diggings. Great Northern Diver really do have very big feet.
With only two visitor cars left in the car park I wandered towards Firth Lookout to see if the occupants were nearby as it was nearing 16:00 and time to close the main gate on the reserve. However, over 400 Greylag Geese flew onto Burrowes along with 22 Bewick's Swans. Once the awful noise of the Greylags had subsided I could hear the Bewick's calling as they bathed, just superb.
