6/3/23-Home and Lakeside 

Photos taken in this set: 1. Blue flowers on the balcony one of a few looking nice there again including crocus too. 2. A lovely Common Gull seen well at Lakeside again at lunch time. 3. Greylag Geese at Lakeside. 4. Black-headed Gull on a buoy at Lakeside. 5. View at Lakeside. 6. A stunning pair of Great Crested Grebes nestled among a colourful pattern of fallen catkins on the lake��s surface a key feature of my walk today. 7. A view at Lakeside. 8. The pair of Great Crested Grebes later on doing a bit of the weed dance which it was a treat to see once more seeing these and another pair on another lake diving together and coming together too. I have been truly spoiled the with the amazing views I’ve got of this courting species here the last week and a half or so. 9. Starlings out the back on the roof visible from my room it was nice to see them piling onto this whilst working today. 10. A beautiful sunset tonight on a strong day for seeing dramatic sky scenes with the filling Worm Moon peeking through clouds this evening. 

Other avian highlights at Lakeside today were Long-tailed Tit, Great Tit, Wren, Moorhen, Tufted Ducks and brilliant views of a big bustling group of House Sparrows in the allotment hedges by the entrance. I was delighted to see at least one buzzing bee too and a variety of daffodils. At home it was soothing to hear a chorus of Magpies with their pica pica call at one point and good to see Goldfinches on the balcony feeders when coming back from my lunch time walk.

Round 1, Side B: Match 18

The European herring gull (Larus argentatus) is a large gull that lives and breeds along the northern part of Europe. They typically measure 55-67 cm (22-26 in) in length and 125-155 cm (49-61 in) in wingspan. They have white underparts and head, light grey upperparts and wings with black tips and white "mirrors," yellow bill with red spot, and pink legs (though they can be yellowish instead). They eat crustaceans, carrion, and eggs and young of other birds. Despite their name, they do not have any special preference for herrings. They have been observed using pieces of bread as bait to catch goldfish, and rhythmically drumming their feet on the ground to create vibrations to drive worms to the surface.

The common gull (Larus canus) is a mid-sized gull that lives and breeds in northern Europe. They typically measure 40-46 cm (16-18 in) in length and 110-130 cm (43-51 in) in wignspan. They have white underparts and head, grey upperparts and wings with black tips and white "mirrors," yellow legs, and short greenish-yellow bill. They eat worms, insects, and fish as well as scavenge.
