There was little evidence of any activity at Throop Millpond today, so I decided to try my luck at a different location: this time at Coy pond, situated on the outskirts of Bournemouth, Dorset. It's a location I haven't visited for some twenty years, and the local life seemed a bit sparse, but there were the seemingly ubiquitous Black-headed gulls, always at the ready to snatch a meal from other water fowl if the opportunity arose. The gull in the image was vocally defending its vantage point from all comers, attempting to drive off anything that approached too close, although not always successfully.
