Larus cachinnans

Above: 1st winter/2nd calendar year (Essex, 12 April 2012)

At last! After a few months without camera and lens (stolen by some kindly 'ejits' on Valentine's Day), I have managed to get out birding ... with my daughter's fabulous Nikon P500 in hand. Thanks Alice!

Given these shots were taken handheld at 36x optical zoom, on this quasi-compact camera, they really are quite astounding. You can clearly read the ring details.
