From goose fest to gull fest

Wintersett Area
An incredible gull roost tonight on the res with c.400 GBB Gull, c. 1500 Herring Gull! and a 1st winter Med Gull. All attention was on the large gulls tonight, therefore no estimates for Common and Black-headed gulls were made, though numbers were probably the same as previous nights. With all these gulls, surely a white-winger will make an appearance soon!

The drake Smew was on the top res today and the Greenland White-front and American Wigeon were still present on Anglers.
