| Surf Scoter, Courtmacsherry |
Unfortunately it was a bit more distant than it had been yesterday, so the shots were correspondingly even poorer than they might have been! Only discovered on checking this evening that my last
surf scoter was 10 years ago to the very day, at the same site! Spooky!
On the way home I stopped to check the gulls at Timoleague and found 2 adult
yellow-legged gulls in amongst the lessers - here they are in situ...

| C'mon Gav, talk us thru this fella! |
Still find these fellas tricky & don't feel confident about them at all. Reckon it must be down to my deprived Scottish upbringing! Kind of getting the hang of adults tho - just need to find one on patch now!
Look brilliant on my phone's diddy little screen! I'm sure you must have clocked the underside of p10 okay. That and nostril shape are all you need to clinch 'em really. Easy peasy!
ReplyDeleteCheers Gav - good to get 'em confirmed by the gull-meister!
