Mid-afternoon today.
An absolute mass of Gulls flying around when I pulled up for a break, making it impossible to pick anything out. When some of them did finally land on the 384 roof, the immediate stand out birds were... 2 Argentatus Herring Gull 1 Black-headed Gull with full dark brown head and very bright red bill and legs
1 Great Black-backed Gull and 2 Argentatus Herring Gull currently present this afternoon

Stopped off here this afternoon after a quick visit to Smithfield Market.
Lots of Gulls, more than I've seen in a while, inc lots of Large Gulls c40-50. Most of them mobile and hard to keep track of but of note that landed on the 384 roof... 1 Great Black-backed Gull 3 (4?) Argentatus Herring Gull
