Index of Subjects We were around Mccormack's beach between 1->4pm. One black skimmer was constantly on the beach during that time.

By the time I parked the car and got out I just got a last glimpse of its tail end. So I waited. In the meantime a good number of gulls were in a feeding frenzy over the spit of Mccormack's, snatching insects out of mid air. I guess there was a nuptial flight of ants going on...... Amidst the Ring-billed and Black-headed Gulls was at least one imm. Laughting Gull. It seems that the whole gang roosts on the fish factory building. The adult skimmer made a distant and brief fly-by, my guess is that they (1 adlut and 2 imm.) may roost on Lawler I. where the beach has a bit less human and canine traffic. Ulli
