Wintersett Gulls 4th Sept 2014

Numbers still going up, with most birds coming in to the Top Res from the southeast, including a single flock of 400+ LBBs at 18.35 hrs.

Final counts were :-

Lesser Black-backed Gull - 1391

Yellow-legged Gull - 10 (9 adults & 1 2nd winter.

Despite the very high numbers, the YLG count s disappointing and appears to be little chance of a Caspian at the moment. The record count f 1700 LBBs looks in danger of being broken though.

A Goldeneye flew from the Top Res to the Low Lake at 19.15.
