It was another shopping trip to Weymouth today and another opportunity to track down what is turning out to be a very elusive Little Auk in the harbour. Once again I was told it had been seen 20 minutes before I arrived and yep, it didn't show up for the next hour I was by the quayside.
Well I have a couple more opportunities, as the "new" used car is having some minor work done on it in Weymouth. Here's hoping!!
Birds Recorded:
5 Cormorant
Black-headed Gull
Herring Gull
Great Black-backed Gull
Pied Wagtail
Magpie
Carrion Crow
Jackdaw
No Little Auk seen by me today (again), but plenty of Cormorants fishing in the harbour.
That's a beak you wouldn't want to mess about with.
And I'm just wondering what these........
..........two are doing.
An adult Black-headed Gull removing a few loose feathers.
Not the easiest of gulls to age, but I'm going with 2cy Herring Gull. There are a few similarly aged birds Here.
Another Herring Gull. This one is an adult and I couldn't resist it as it was that close. And that was to...
......photograph some head shots right up close.
Looks more like an owl head-on.
