Highlight of the day / week / month / year so far remains the Laughing Gull so if you don't want to see any more shots of this gull look away now.......too late. Thanks to Ed O'Hara for the pics.
Alicante News!
Derek scored rightly on his first day's hols:
Marbled Duck (2 + 13 young), Red-rumped Swallow, Slender-billed Gull (50+), Audoiun's Gull (50+) White-headed Duck (3 + 2 young), Black Wheatear and Collared Pratincole.
Turn up any of the above birds in Northern Ireland and you get a mystery prize (in association with Chez Veale Evening Bistro "Meat to eat - straight off the street")
What about this for a birthday present? - my own personal horde!
Anybody that messes with me from now on is gonna get a swarm of bees through the letterbox.
Tune into tomorrow for some more antisocial gull antics in the name of science (if he doesn't take my hand off in the process)
