A bit more seasonal 4°C, with 1/8 cloud and a light westerly. Cloud thickened towards midday, then a shower early afternoon.
Anglers CP: Little Grebe 3. A Little Egret dropped in at 14.10 for an hour, then left.
Wintersett Res: Grey Partridge 8, Cetti's Warbler 2 and Water Rail 1.
Both Anglers and Wintersett Gull Roosts were a shambles tonight. On WRes there was a Black-headed Gull trailing 3 metres of twine which constantly flushed all the birds. It moved to Anglers and did the same there. There was also shooting in the back fields which added to the chaos! The usual adult Yellow-legged Gull the only bird of note identified.
NB Pugneys only had around 150 big Gulls, possibly because of the strong wind. A leucistic Black-headed and 2 Yellow-legged were the notables there tonight.
