Two walks on the Humber

Monday, the windy walk

Under the strong winds of storm Herminia, I head towards the Humber. I pop at the railway triangle by Hull Royal Infirmary and I manage to steady my camera enough for some photos of a singing Song Thrush.

Before I leave town, I check on Princes Quay for gulls, hoping for the Med gull. Nothing, just a couple of Black-headed gulls hunkering, horizontal, against the wind. Later, when I get home and check the photo I see the head of the Mediterranean Gull (68) poking from behind the roof (top shot).

Tuesday, the rainy walk

The storm has passed, and instead it is a drizzly and rainy day. I walk towards The Deep and take a walk and a coffee inside until the worst of the rain has passed at mid morning. No signs of Curlew again, which is a bit worrying. No new birds for the year either today.

No Med gull at Princes Quay today, but a Pied Wagtail made up for it.
