Further to my post earlier in the week, some more pictures of Mediterranean Gulls at Calshot give a comparison of this gull with the Black-headed gull.

#Wordless Wednesday.
Smile you are on camera!
The Canada Geese goslings have grown up so much over the last few weeks. Three families despite the odds have raised all their little ones into “teenagers”.
I placed my small action camera {Olympus Tough} on a stool and let it capture the geese coming over for a feed. Video and stills from the film. Some of these portraits have got to make you smile.
Time on the shore.
A few hours bird watching on Meon Shore.
Groups of Turnstones – feeding – washing – and chilling at the edge of the sea.
Off shore.
A Common Tern fishing off the beach on the Solent. The meal of the day is small flat fish.

On the beach.
Early Saturday evening and a few hours down on the beach enjoying the fresh air and watching windsurfers and kitesurfers.
While sitting on the beach two of the local Mute Swans came out of the water to say hello so I popped back to the van to get some bird seed and my small underwater camera.
T4C ringed bird I have known this bird for several years. The unringed bird with him took a liking to my arm!
Summer Godwits.
The Black-tailed Godwit is a large, long-legged, long-billed shorebird. ( it is one of Europe’s larger wading birds). A number of these remain in the UK all year rather than migrate to their breeding grounds in Iceland. We are lucky to have a number of these birds all year round in Titchfield Haven
