Cormorant and a large Wrasse

This Cormorant landed in Clahane with attitude, it caught the eye as I was watching Gulls.
A smalll while later I had to swing the camera onto it as it took on a challenge of a good 2lb Wrasse








 

Two Adult Med Gull -Clahane

 I was delighted to find a stunning adult Mediterranean Gull on the seaweed picking on the Kelp fly explosion. A Med Gull still remains a decent bird to find along the Clare west coast. 

I enjoyed the quite showy bird and moved along the front to an oncoming adult Med Gull , surely 2 adult Meds aint happening, and now I need to turn around go back to the seaweed dump and check and yes another has joined the other ....this one with slightly `oranger` legs.

So this leads me to why and where from? Could be a failed clutch, could it be young have fledged and now its time to wander feed up.
