The first bird I saw, at 2.25pm, was a 2nd year Mediterranean Gull and of course I had left my camera at home! Twenty minutes later and I was back at the Pond and of course there was no sign of the bird. However, a few minutes later it flew into view and settled on the water giving great views........................
2nd summer Mediterranean Gull - Bingham's Pond - 22 July 2013
I also managed to take some video footage and this can be found at
Click on the thumbnail 'Bingham's Pond Rare Gull' to view.
It can also be seen on YouTube at http://youtu.be/udJNZk2l9H0
Mediterranean Gull is still a rarity in the Clyde area, yet amazingly I have now found two here - not bad for a small pond in the middle of an urban area!
