Beddington Yellow-legged Gull

Yesterday evening I went down to Beddington Farmlands as the local WhatsApp groups had been quiet. Ebird list here.

The biggest highlight of the evening was finding only the second Yellow-legged Gull at the Farmlands this year, after an adult bird Dave Warren and I found back in January.


2nd cycle (2cy) Yellow-legged Gull below:
