Gulls, waders, geese and a couple of extras!

Had a lovely day today at WWT Llanelli watching the black headed gull colony and the other birds in the area

Here's a select few!! I was trying to get action/habitat shots, just something out of the ordinary really.

The gulls:

1.


2.


Lapwing, this was a particularly grumpy individual who spent most of the day divebombing everything else and squeaking at them

3.


4.



Redshank mating (big crop on this one, so it's not that great).

5.



Blackbird..

6.



Greylag taking off

7.

Re: Gulls, waders, geese and a couple of extras!

Thanks Azz, they're definitely mine too! The gulls were really fun to watch, despite being a bit common and "boring". I wasn't nearly as happy with this shoot as I was the Craig Y Nos one, as the light was a bit flat, but I had a nice day out

I don't find black headed gulls at all boring! I think they're fantastic fun to watch! Lovely shots. Like the stationary Lapwing best.
