Thinking about what the gulls were hawking for yesterday, I think that it could have been midges newly hatched from larvae at the bottom of Lake BG.  They were TINY as I couldn’t see them with or without binoculars.  The gulls were hawking from nearly ground level up to 100 metres.  As I saw several gulls flying with their beaks open, perhaps they were scooping the midges out of the air.  That’s my best guess.
