24 March 2025 - Hollingworth Lake

Another Kittiwake out on the water at Hollingworth Lake, presumably a different bird to yesterday's

I walked around the Lake this morning before work in calm sunny conditions and saw a single gull out on the water. I was surprised to see it was yet another Kittiwake; presumably a different bird to yesterday's.  That one (the later one anyway) had some markings around the base of the bill.
