Colour Ringed Gulls at Little Marlow

An early evening visit to Little Marlow GP was nice in that the heat of the day gave way to a very pleasant temperature.  The two juvenile Little Ringed Povers were again present along with an adult bird.  Two Common Sandpipers were also present again,  Three Teal have arrived but whether they stay remains to be seen.

Two repeat colour ringed gulls were present, which is somewhat surprising considering the rather small numbers present.  Firstly Black-headed Gull "Black X.A51" which I previously reported on 20th July 2018.  See my blog at this link.  Also present was Lesser Black-backed Gull "Black 9N5".

Lesser Black-back Gull "Black 9N5".  For full list of sightings see below.

Lesser Black-back Gull "Black 9N5" and Herring Gull "Orange N8MT" (this photo from 26th July).  I was rather surprised to see two colour ringed gulls so close together given that very few gulls were present on site.

Full details of the sightings of Lesser Black-back Gull "Black 9N5" follow :-
