Am I the only one that thought that is a huge bird poop?

Am I the only one that thought that is a huge bird poop?

I guess so. It's a dead fish, and the gull is claiming it as his lunch.

Female and male Linnets from the Pembrokeshire coast (R5/100-500mm). I see these occasionally close to home, but not as well as these handsome birds. The first two are a breeding pair. The third has a very fine red breast.

I'm beginning to think Alan has his own private zoo of birds in his backyard. Always so many different types of birds! Great shot.

Beautiful set of pictures. Looks like that flycatcher has similar blue feathers to a barn swallow.

We drove to Wales on the Pembrokeshire coast to get the Puffins on the isle of Skomer. The Linnets, Stonechats, Curlews, Oystercatchers etc were all seen in the local countryside. We were very lucky with the weather - the Skomer boat couldn't sail the following day we booked.

Thank you @macrunning

I believe you are correct on the blue feathers.

I went kayaking yesterday morning. Very few birds. Disappointing.
