I can not see this in the photo.





Hi Mike,
YLGs difficult birds at the best of times, probably not the best feature to use (as a single feature) as most of the large white headed Gulls can show an orbital ring of some red hue or another. Structure, head shape, general jizz, mantle, facial streaking etc would be a wiser option to build a better picture of what the bird is. smile

This is probably the closest thread for this sighting as the location is virtually at the end of the lower reservoir.

Mid-morning today - heard around the garden of Lucciano's at the Millstone whilst I was making a delivery.
- singing Garden Warbler
- singing Blackcap
- singing Common Whitethroat
