22nd October

1 of 40 Common Gulls at Heath Hill Road this PM.

These Black-headed Gulls were behaving strangly, almost landing in the tree tops and apparently picking things off the leaves (insects ?)

Not much else except a couple of Redwings over Tower Hill.

I saw b.h.gulls doing exactly that some years ago at Lightcliffe. They were plucking off the seeds from the tops of lime trees. Can't remember if I saw them eating them.
They may be just exploring what might be edible.
