A loaf of bread, a flock of gulls, and thou...


With apologies to Omar Khayyam. As I'm working in Exeter at the moment, I've spent my lunchtimes down at the quay, looking through the flock of Black-headed Gulls for foreign-ringed birds. Not a bad return either: in the last week, I've managed to read the full numbers of one from Latvia, two from Sweden and one from Denmark, as well as a partial reading of one from the UK. Some more pics below...



Get you, missus... Danish birds, eh?


Missing a picture with the first number; this is the winter-plumaged Swedish bird. The other one's in full-on 'hot stuff' colours.
