I took this this morning from my nursery window. They have got chicks and have started to add onto the nest.

Topsham this morning.
I haven't had a sniff of a Med Gull all year then I get 3 in 20 mins!!!
As you can see I went along to the rec at Topsham and scanned the gull that were there. Mostly BH gulls but there was a scruffy, I think 2nd winter MG by the shore. I walked along to the bigger roost under the M5 flyover and found an adult MG with a couple of rings on, I think they say M12 on the right leg. After looking through the rest of them I walked back. There was now another MG

While there I also found a juv Herring Gull caught up in some rigging on a small boat. I spoke to someone from the fire and rescue and they were sorting it. Hopefully it all ended well.

Well it has been a long time since I've posted. I really have only been birding a few times in the last month and they were really not worth the time to type anything out.

So it felt a bit strange going out this afternoon for a bit, in the heat of the day.

I found myself at Exminster Marsh and the first bird was the elusive Spoonbill. Managed a few minutes watching it( 3 photos) and saw it's bill. But i moved on. A flock of Blackwits were on one of the pools and that was pretty much it. Apart from the usual martins and gulls
