Christine's walking & birds blog

Up on West Terrace, I sheltered from the ferocious wind behind the car to take a few shots of the gulls down by the camp-site, and discovered that starfish is clearly on the menu. I'm not sure if the ghostly white winger in the picture was a glaucous or Iceland gull - but later it also caught a starfish.


We had earlier failed to see any white-wingers at Ardmair - but there were loads of gulls over by the fish-farm and it was impossible to use the telescope. In any case, I always think it's too far away to bother. After a walk along the beach we got back up onto the causeway and nearly got blown into the road by a terrific gust of wind.
