Yesterday my camera and I went to RSPB Rye Meads nature reserve in Hertfordshire - our first visit since September 2019.
It was a very windy day so the birds that I had hoped to see, including Kingfisher and Kestrel, did not put in an appearance while I was there. However, I was not disappointed as I had the pleasure of my first sighting of a Mediterranean Gull. There was only one adult present and it was lurking about in the grass on an island in the lagoon in front of the Draper Hide and was with lots of Black-headed Gulls (which really have brown heads). The Mediterranean Gull was easy to spot as it really did have a black head!
