Mediterranean feel to the day

Worsbrough reservoir - first Common Tern of the year briefly this morning.
Barrow tip - Tree Pipit feeding on top of pit stack. Highlight of the morning was an adult Mediterranean Gull which circled the sewage works at 10:55. This is the first record of this species in the valley since April 1992.
Not a bad morning for a lad that was in from clubbing at 04:30 this morning and back out at 08:00 birding! . . . us young'uns!

Main highlights over the past week
Swift - 1 on 17th was 5 days earlier than the earliest  record for the valley.
Goldeneye - pair on 15th.
Wheatear - Male on Barrow Tip on 15th.

So you clearly came home from clubbing alone and without a substantial amount of alcohol in your belly! Not something I'd be bragging about.
