Dark Herring Gull

Seen at Leadenham Tip (28th Nov) clearly both darker and bigger than the other Herring Gull. Each time I scanned the flock of gulls, i picked this individual bird out everytime but suggest it is just a Herring Gull??

It would appear to be a classic argentatus, (Scandinavian Herring Gull). It would also appear that I still have a lot to learn!

The Bird Club was formed in 1979, to encourage and further an interest in the bird life, birding and birdwatching of the historic county of Lincolnshire, to collect and publish information on bird movements and bird populations, bird taxonomy, bird status, to encourage conservation of the wildlife of the county of Lincolnshire and to provide sound information on which bird conservation policies can be based.

Joining the Bird Club is a great way to make new birdwatching friends and contacts in Lincolnshire! If you are a "beginner", but keen to become actively involved in birding, you will find that learning about your county's wild birds - how, when and where to see them - is both easier and more enjoyable when undertaken in the company of our local enthusiasts. If you're already an active birdwatcher you can add another dimension to your birding by becoming involved in our varied local activities.
