          Common Gull, uncommon around here and then only for the winter, Black Headed Gulls in front, although neither have black heads in winter! Confused? I am!:biggrin:

                        Nice footage. We get flocks in certain places here, sometimes 3,000 birds or more but very unpredictable. Here when they gather in large numbers and form fantastic patterns in the sky at dusk they are called 'murmurations':smile:

                          We get a occasional starling, they scare the other birds off the feeder, hence I'm not a huge fan. However, when they flock, wow, the murmerations are something to behold :wow:

                            Went to the local bird hides this afternoon, and no birds

                            hides.jpg

                            Only a single Dragonfly on the path to the hides
