19th July 2015 - Weymouth
At the risk of overdoing the gulls, here's another juv michahellis, this time from Dorset. We briefly popped into Radipole yesterday (we were dropping Carolyn's brother at Dorchester station so I suggested a quick detour to Weymouth). I thought there might be the odd one around, but this was practically the first bird I saw as we pulled into the car park. At this time of year, when the Herring and Lesser Black-backed Gulls are just fledging, birds as smart as this stand out a mile.

And here's a juv Herring Gull looking rather less impressive in comparison.
