Hello and Welcome to Earl Gray blog spot

-
Hello everyone, following on from my friends who have started a blog recently(please see my links), I have decided to start a blog on my rants and raves of daily life mostly about my hobbies and interests, but also what is topical to me.
Just to let you know, the idea for the blogspot, came from my recent birding trip to Northern France to see the Wallcreeper near Boulogne and the famous advert by PG tips of a British chimp cycling in the tour de france (see links), and hopefully I wont be sued in the near future for the use of my blogspot!
Any way hope you enjoy my blog, and look forward to your comments.
Earl Gray.

Meeting up with Neil Hagley this afternoon at Shawell Balancing Lake almost the first gull I looked at was an Adult Ring-Billed Gull . Just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating I ask Neil to have a look at this gull in my scope and he came to the same conclusion. GET IN!!! So over the next half an hour we ticked off all the salient features of the bird and then phoned out the news. As this was probably only the sixth record for Leicestershire and Rutland as you can imagine I took quite a few digishots of the gull. Joined later by the Groby crew (Allen, Andy F and Paul) just before the Ring-billed Gull flew off towards the tip, it wasn't long before the group picked at least 3 Yellow-legged Gulls and 3 Caspian Gulls (2 Adults and 1 2nd-winter bird) in the large gull flock. So to put this sighting of the Ring-billed Gull in context, it's probably only the sixth time it has been recorded in the county.It was a county tick for myself, Neil and the Groby crew and Ring-billed G...
