For those with an interest in dead birds (I hesitate to use the n word in case I get spammed out) I return to the gull I posted on Dec 30th: it was still on the beach but in much better condition if you discount the whiff and on seeing it, I realised it was too big for a little gull. I include a pic of the legs which are pale by any standard so in immatures its pale grey or variable not black as per the guide books! Measurements confirmed it so that's that and I now need to get down to Aber to see a live little gull!
Also on the beach a gannet skeleton(that beak never fails to impress), plus a freshly disembowelled GC grebe which,in deference to your sensibilities I have declined to picture, sorry Lyndon.
The survivor is that BHgull which I pictured on Dec 13th, amazingly its still on the beach at Ynys Las with all the other sandwich hunting gulls! I was a bit tempted to create another corpse on the beach when a guy in a Range Rover with a small child at the steering wheel repeatedly drove through the gulls...if only he knew what effort it took for that damaged gull to keep moving.
