update of the week

hi readers

Sorry i didn't keep up with my daily update but i've been busy and i've decided to do an update at any time but there will definitely be one every week and if not i shall notify you.
So far this week i have seen the usual like blue tits, great tits, blackbirds, lesser/greater black backed gulls, mallards, coots, magpies, wood pigeons, quite a few starlings and coal tits.
I think i have seen black headed gulls but i'm not 100% sure.
Just to let you know i shall be referring to lesser and greater black backed gulls as lbb gulls and gbb gulls.

thanks for reading have a great week

apologies

hi readers, sorry i haven't been posting on this very often but i have been busy so heres an update on the past month.Firstly i have solved the mystery of the tern and have found that it had a black tip so it must be a common tern. I also took a photo of it:


The other day i also saw a wren in my garden. Its tail was cocked so i identified it easily. I have also seen an increasing number of tits in my garden. this morning i saw a few coal tits, great tits but not many blue tits. I still see a lot of house sparrows but this is normal.
One last thing, i was walking home from school the other day and saw what i thought was a pigeon, but at closer examination it was grey-brown. when i walked past i saw that it had a whitish front and black spots and immediately identified it as a mistle thrush. i know it wasn't a song thrush because a song trush is more dark brown

I shall be posting more regularly on this, hopefully once a day but if not that then definitely once every two days
Thanks for reading
