This has been a terrific winter for gulls in and around the harbour Neil. Your birds (at least the closer ones, look like Heuglin's Gulls to me
- There have been around 30 Black-tailed Gulls loafing not he islet opposite the Disney pier in Discovery Bay for at least 2 weeks and I've seen up to 10 of both Black-tailed and Heuglin's Gulls all the way into the ferry piers over the last couple of days.
- I understand Paul Leader also had 200 south of Lantau on Saturday and
- Martin Williams had his first ever Black-tailed Gulls of Cheung Chau at the weekend as well.
- I have also had Heuglin's, Black-headed and Black-tailed Gulls from my sea watch point at the Magic Roundabout and even had a Heuglin's Gull flying across the golf course last week.
- 3 weeks ago I also had 50-odd Black-headed Gulls off Tai O
A look back at the Avifauna associates gulls away from Mai Po with the presence of sewage in the harbour and Lamma Channel. I wonder if there's something we don't know . . .
Please do post any more records of gulls away from Deep Bay that I have missed.
Cheers
Mike
