Blue sky, cool and sunny.
The highlights today were in the gull roost this afternoon.  At 15.30 hrs  a first winter Caspian Gull wearing a yellow ring was spotted, followed ,at 16.00hrs, by another Caspian Gull, this time an adult. Seeing two of these birds in the same roost is a first for Wintersett Res.
Other highlights today: A flock of 11 Crossbills passed through Haw Park Wood and another first for here was a female Blackcap on the feeding station in Anglers CP car park.
