Sunrise and a flock of Black-headed Gulls

Spent some time at the beach this morning. Nice bird flybys and nice sunrise

Greater Sand Plover, Great Cormorant, Grey Heron, Black-headed Gull

I watched a family of Common Mynas take a McD breakfast and sip some water – at least trash and Leftovers seem to be good for some and something, sometimes.

King won a fight with a stray who wanted to show his female companions who’s the owner of the beach. No dogs got harmed & they went back to their own stretch after a while.

Dog fun, Dec 14th

Birdcount: 64 Greater Cormorants, 75 Black-headed Gulls, 1 Grey Heron, 5 Common Myna, 2 Greater Sand Plover, 1 Kentish Plover, 3 White Wagtails, 9 Yellow Wagtails, 1 Northern Wheatear, 15 Slender-billed and one possible Caspian or Heuglin’s Gull, 1 White-eared Bulbul, 23 House Sparrows on my way home 2 Rose-ringed Parakeet

Maybe Caspian or Heuglins Gull, Black-headed Gulls, no idea?! and the always present fishing line

Caught my first sunrise at the beach this morning. Was up way too early and had to kill time at home (you don’t want to be at the beach in the dark…), check the sunrise times and then almost missed out on the glorious pre-sunrise colours

Most exciting sightings were a Flamingo flyby and a Grey Plover.

Sadly the birds were all gone (thanks to someone walking around) when the light finally got better for my lens & camera skills

I hope you can enjoy them anyway (and sorry for them being just wild in the post, in my ‘backoffice’ they look neatly sorted and I am out of patience for now to sort them – Just click on one pic to see them larger)
