Wintersett 03.01.13

The morning started with  56 Pink- footed Geese west at 09.10 hrs (ACP)  and ended with another skein of 52 NW at 12.04 over WRes.   In between  13 Whooper Swans, (8 were juvs),  dropped in at Anglers from the NW at 10.25hrs and left mid afternoon.    Also here: Female Long-tailed duck  and a Water Rail (ACP), 2 male Scaup and  3 Egyptian Geese (WRes).
Gull Roost Highlights:  2 regulars, and 1 very lucky visitor from Stockport,  had excellent views of a 1st W Caspian Gull that flew in at 15.47hrs and perched on buoy number 4 for a time!  A 1st W Yellow-legged Gull was in the roost from 16.00hrs.
