Gull rings on a very early morning visit to Leixoes harbour, Porto (September 11)


About 8500 gulls were present, including 6000 Yellow-legged Gulls and 2500 Lesser Black-backed gulls. Between 05:45 – 09:00 19 colour-rings were read (14 LBBG and 5 YLG).


There are some things more interesting than gulls. 06:53AM: Adult Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus consuming its breakfast at one of the two main cranes in the container terminal of the Leixoes harbour.
