Wintersett + Gull Roost 24.01.16

An exceptionally mild 9 - 14 degrees, with 6/8 cloud and a light south westerly.
Wintersett  Res: A Water Rail and a male  Cetti's Warbler  were in the boathouse reeds.
Cold Hiendley Res: A Cetti's Warbler was heard on the SE  bank.  Willow Tit 1 + 1 ACP.
Haw Park Wood:  A Tawny Owl was calling from Stubbs Wood.   Siskin 7.
Anglers CP:  150 Pink-footed Geese flew north west at 11.15hrs and 65 went west at 14.35hrs.  Barn Owl  1 and  Goosander 17.
ACP  Gull Roost was very disappointing today.  Large gulls were distant and numbers were poor.  The only notable bird was a 1st W Yellow-legged Gull in at 15.10hrs.  Great Black-backed Gull  86 and Herring Gull 908. 
Of interest: An adult and a 1st W Yellow-legged Gull in Pugneys roost - per Mick Hemingway.
