Last Summer/Autumn I spent a lot of hours monitoring the Mediterranean gulls that visit the shoreline roost at East Wemyss, The best count was 10 one evening at high tide, not including two juveniles that had been noted a day or so earlier. It was interesting watching them change from summer to winter plumage and how quickly it happened. There have been several winter records from various venues along the Fife coast during the Winter period but today was the first here at the Wemyss, It seems to be stealing a march on the black-headed gulls as far as moulting back into summer plumage is concerned as it's head contains plenty of black feathers again.
