Wildlife in Langstone harbour and Southsea seafront

A month ago I was in Portsmouth, so went on a walk looking for wildlife with my friend Richard. At the southern end of Langstone Harbour we came across a group of birds, which included a flock of redshanks

A brent goose

Some turnstones

And a black headed gull that was stalking the redshanks

At southsea seafront there were the usual herring gulls

But there was also a greater black backed gull, which as the biggest gull species in the world, towered over the herring gulls

Great shots. I love going to the sea side. There's always so much life.
I'm sadly remiss in the shore bird department. Haven't had much luck (yet)

Have never seen a blackheaded gull except in pictures. Didn't realize they are so huge. Nice photos.
