Exceptional Beak



Have observed a Black headed gull recently with a most unusual long beak - 


much longer and more curved than normal.

Fish and Flips


One lucky duck was out of luck today after catching a young flounder. It tried time and again to subdue the fish to swallow it, until eventually a young gull spotted the struggle. Black headed gulls are renowned for stealing food from other birds and promptly lived up to it's reputation ! This is only the second time I have seen a duck try to eat a flounder.
