Missed the Bonaparte's Gull at Blaxton Meadow this afternoon however, it was pleasing to see the Male Red-Crested Pochard has returned to the Coach Pond at Saltram House for another year along side the even longer staying female #UKBirding #DevonBirds

Can anyone help with ID of this gull at Mansands, Devon this morning. It looked good for #CaspianGull as it flew in- neck shawl and white head + tail/rump but underwing was fairly dark. When landed the mantle/scaps quite dark for Casp and wing coverts unusually patterned? #devonbirds #ukbirding

Intermedius LBB Gull among Common Gulls. Note basically uniform blackness across coverts and primaries on open upperwing.
2nd-winter Yellow-legged Gull on stony estuary bed. Herring Gulls in background.
Some pretty cool late-afternoon gulling on the Axe included a handful of super-dark intermedius LBB Gulls, as well as 2w and 3w Yellow-legged Gulls (2w pictured).

I've taken action for our wild places!
The UK Government is proposing changes to the National Planning Policy Framework. Help it work for nature.

Female-type Black Redstart facing camera, perched on granite boulder.
Nice walk from Axmouth Harbour to Beer Head and back made nicer still by this Black Redstart at Seaton Hole. 😊
