  11. Hi Bob,
    Super images of the Black Headed gull, these birds will soon be giving the Ospreys at Rutland a chasing when they are returning with a fish.

  17. Delightful images, Bob. I can see that second bird is sending out thought messages to the other gulls along the lines of "bugger off - I'm trying to get some shut-eye here!" Best wishes - - - Richard
