Buzzards and Gulls at Welsh Harp

Just popped down to the Welsh Harp Reservoir where I saw my first great black-backed gulls of the year and 2 common buzzards soaring above Wembley Stadium were pointed out to me by the other birders. The difference between the great and lesser black backed gulls other than the size is the leg colour. The great has pinky grey legs whereas the lesser has yellowy grey legs. The great black-backs are huge which you could see as they were sitting next to a cormorant and were bigger then him. Other than that there were 2 snipe and the usual suspects.

That takes my birds this year to 76. My total UK birds is now on 85 and my life list is on 382.
