With more than 1000 Black-headed gulls currently feeding in Cardiff Bay, it took some help from my birding friends for me to locate this gorgeous 2cy Little gull (Hydrocoloeus minutus) on Sunday, though yesterday I managed to find it for myself. You just need to get your eye in, as its flight is quite distinctive, and so too is its size and colouring. These events – this accumulation of Black-headed gulls and a fleeting visit from a Little gull – are quite normal for this time of year as the gulls pass through en route to their breeding grounds.
