Eirol landfill, Portugal (January 12, 2015)



One of two adult Herring gulls Larus argentatus present at the site.




Herring gull number two.




Ringed Mediterranean gull Ichthyaetus melanocephalus, from Véron, les Prés Pendus, Yonne, FRANCE 48,07N 3,17E. One of two birds observed.




A Pied wagtail Motacilla alba yarrellii (top) and white wagtail M. a. alba (bottom).




The only signs of the young Peregrine falcon Falco peregrinus that resided at the landfill for some time (see previous posts) were 10 older remains of Black-headed Gulls Chroicocephalus ridibundus




...and, remarkably, the remains of a 1st winter Lesser Black-backed Gull Larus fuscus. Not a common prey for a Peregrine.
