Gulls to the Horizon 
Nice. I’ve never seen a Little Gull in real life before. Was it paired up with the BHG?
By the way, have you seen this photo before? The whole body of a Little Gull is not much bigger than the head of a Great Black-backed Gull…
Thanks, sightings of Little Gulls are rare for me as well.
I doubt that it was paired-up with the BHG but I must have found it interesting to see both of them interacting to take those photos. I had only been birding for less than a year at the time so I didn’t know anything about gull behaviour back then. If I would see it today it would certainly catch my attention!
Nice photo of the Little Gull next to the GBBG. Which site is this from?
Oh yeah, sorry – forgot the URL:

There’s a photo of a huge (goose sized) Glaucous Gull too.
Ah yes, Amar’s blog. Very nice.
I just saw a Little Gull video here:
So tiny. It looks more like a tern…
