No surprise that photos from Arbroath Harbour are mostly gulls, but they're superseded by the Little Gulls from Monikie CP where they stage each year for a week or more before moving on to their breeding grounds in the Baltic and Russia. Three of the Great Black-backed photos are of ringed birds, I'll post the details when I get them.
