Interesting Gulls

A particular fairly pale gull caught my eye at Little Marlow GP this morning.  The immediate impression was of Yellow-legged Gull.  Then two other quite similar gulls came into view and these are pictured below.  The bulk of the larger gulls; Herring and Lesser Black-back were nearby but separate.  I am still mulling over the ID of these birds.

As for other species three Teal were the only recent change.

Gull 1 - A juvenile Yellow-legged Gull (I think!)

Avocet at Little Marlow GP

Found by Simon Davies about 10:15, news was soon put out and a steady stream of birders visited during the day to see this juvenile bird.  It remained until the evening and presumably left overnight.

Avocet -  A juvenile.  The species is  scarce visitor to Bucks.
