Over the last few weeks Med Gulls have pretty much become an expected sighting in North Kent, and I'm started to see/ hear them regularly over the house now (
Northfleet). This has been a great success story and one that I could never have imagined years ago whilst waiting to glimpse one at
Dungeness. The distinctive call of
Meds has very much become a feature of a day out in North Kent, both coastal and inland. Back in the 80's even seeing at bird at
Croxley Green, West London was a red letter day yet now we expect them. The bird above was at
Swanscombe, one of 3 birds that day.
The sheep fields above
Capel Fleet,
Sheppey home to 27
Meds the day I visited, with mostly adults present but also some 1st year and 2 year birds.
First summer
adult summer
Another adult at
Shellness flew close by looking for a freebie chip or bit of batter!!
