YLG Juv and a miss at Oare ~ 17.07.16

Another two Yellow-legged Gull Juveniles were at the fishing boats on sunday afternoon along with a couple of LBBG's and the usual gatherings of Herring and GBBG's ...

Lesser Black-backed Gull 

An hour at Oare for the Bonaparte's on the way home didn't produce the gull ..

But a couple of Barn Owls and a nice sunset rounded off  a good day ..
