Haw Park Wood: We spent the whole morning searching from Blue Bridge to Stoneheaps along the old Barnsley Canal for the Firecrest, but it could not be located today. However there were 3 Nuthatch, 1 Woodcock and 1 Siskin.
The Gull Roosts were a tale of two halves Anglers CP held only small numbers, with birds head on to the hide in a strong SW wind. The notables were: a 1st W Caspian in at 15.20hrs. A 2nd W Yellow-legged was picked up at 15.40hrs. The usual adult Yellow-legged arrived at 15.55hrs.
By contrast, Wintersett Res, which is more sheltered, had fantastic numbers of birds with 2300 Herring + 278 ACP Total 2578,
545 GBB + 133 ACP Total 678
6 LBB + 2 ACP Total 8
Notables in Wintersett Roost were: An adult Caspian that came in at 14.30hrs and another adult Caspian flew in at 15.40hrs. A 1st W Yellow-legged and a 1st W Glaucous x Herring hybrid were also present.
NB: Pugneys had a brilliant roost with 2 Icelands, an adult and a juvenile and 4 Caspians, 2 adults, a 1st W and a 2nd W.
