Lesser Black-backed Gulls

Hello

My apologies for the lack of messages recently, I'm afraid we suffered a complete broadband failure which lasted over a week! Hopefully it is sorted now.

As many will know I definitely have a soft spot for gulls and will happily gaze at them for hours (often trying to work out what they are)! In August this year I was fortunate to be in Glasgow where there is quite an urban community of Lesser Black-backed Gulls, surely one of the better looking large gulls? Anyway the following photographs depict some of the birds close to hand...

Regards
