Down South To Horton Bank CP

Another poor one; Littlemoor Park was bereft. Nothing much in the fields until I hit a large flood field in Soaper Lane. 4 LBBG & numerous small gulls were present.

I was in a quandary at Horton Bank CP. Many Herring Gulls in all age ranges were present alongside a big headed adult gull with a darker mantle and a longer bill than its neighbours. YLG immediately sprang to mind but on looking at the photos it has large white primary wing blobs.

Also a pr of Goesunder. Many small gull species, the Mute Swan Coots and Moorhens.

The place is like a swamp.

PS The photos of the queried gull were unfit for publication.
