Come on in..... (Chroicocephalus ridibundus)

.... the water's lovely.

While most of the gulls appeared to be Common, I did spot this Black-headed enjoying a bathe.

Ann kindly explained why it's called Goose Park.... apparently there used to be a restaurant there called The Goose (appears to be "Gsen" in Norwegian).
