Mediterranean Gull Holden Wood
(Preview)
min 60 Back-headed Gulls around and in last grazing field was a Mediterranean Gull with them, dozing! Best time to see this species could be between 5.30 - 7pm over the next month I believe as Black-headed Gulls move to Fishmoor to roost. Thankfully this sat still for some photographs.
