Thank you for taking the time to comment Gareth, I was hoping to spot the make as they are often a ruddy red in colour, but not today :)

Les

A very nice set as always Les (y)

Actually its a massive resource on the out-lying edges for wild life.
Over the years I've seen just about every species of native BoP's hunting the peripheries.
Save an eagle.

I don't have a landfill close to me - or I would give it a go :)

I have driven past one and I was amazed at home many sea birds in the air around the Bulldozer

Les :)

I can't identify many of the gull species, Les, just the "usual ones"
But on some I've worked on there have been several ( unknown to me) species and even twitchers at the perimeter occasionally as a "Rare" one has dropped by for a snack.
 
Lovely set, Les. Really good detail.They are so detailed if you hadn’t said they were taken with your 200-600 one could be forgiven for thinking it was a macro lens you used.

I spoke to a guy yesterday who works for the local council, also a Togger he told me many many species feed on Landfill, most Herring Gulls Chris :)

I do have a macro lens John New and virtually unused (90mm) = I usually forget to bring it with me as I'm always after Birds/ Wildlife - so thank you John I appreciate your comments fella :)

As usual Les, that lens, in your hands, produces some excellent results.

Maybe on his, but not on "mine"
As quick run down, of "my" sites, Common, black headed, (Mob handed at this time of year and a bugger to shift) greater and lesser black backs, Herrings ( not so common in my neck of the woods)
What I was getting at there are often other gulls visiting that I can't identify.
 
I had a drive over to the tip this very morning- Lesser Black Back and Herring Gulls seem to dominate the area- Its close to Bridgwater and close to the Bristol Channel too
I do see hordes of Black Headed Gulls on the Estuary which is 4 miles or so from the tip - I may take a camera and long lens to the tip one of these days :)

I'm guessing that its all to do with the area, The ones I attend ( have attended) in the past have all been very much in land.
