Venus Pool - Med Gull or Kingfisher...

I was eating my tea.....The vibrating mobile was only likely to mean one thing - a local bird? Thanks to Andy for tipping me off with a 1st Summer Med Gull at Venus Pool- a patch tick for me!! There was an unexpected bonus, at one stage, I didn't know which way to turn - a most photogenic Kingfisher fishing from an overhanging Teasel or the 'Med'?
The Gull stayed for a good 45' during which time it managed to lay into just about every other bird in sight (even trying to take over a Coot's nest) Eventually the Gulls ganged up and the intruder was banished.....
