The Hornsea Mere little gulls


Hornsea Mere in East Yorkshire is renowned for it's large congregations of little gulls which can often number over 500 birds. I was working in the area today so decided to call in for a look

There were "just" 175+ birds today but still a very impressive sight, and most of them seemed to be in a bay at the eastern end of the mere. Also today a drake scaup.

I love this photo with a single black-headed gull.



First summer little gull.







You can really get an idea of size from this photo.
