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. 

Return of Ring billed Gull

It's been quite a while since I've set eyes on a Ring billed Gull in Clare, and good to see one at my local patch Clahane in the flurry of Gulls that came with a NW wind cycle. A 2cy  bird that appeared quite slow and focused on finding nibbles along the river entry.

A Med Gull was also on offer.
