Two adults with white fronts and well-developed black belly patches. Same birds as 3206. So they lingered on after all. The huge lawns probably being a too big temptation to resist, despite of the vast traffic of people and dogs. This time, though, the birds were not flushed by me nor a notoriously inconsiderate dog walker, but by a small dark helicopter coming from the airport. The present gulls also took flight, but they all responded instinctively when it was still far away, and small looking, why I guess they took it for a fast approaching raptor on attack. Visiting the place days after there were no signs of the geese. They probably continued their journey as a cooler northeastern wind made the temperature drop several degrees. |
