Wintersett + Gull Roost 14.01.15

Frost overnight .  1°C,  cool with clear sky and a cool southerly.
Wintersett Res:  Water Rail 2.
Anglers CP: Redwing 20 and Green Woodpecker 1.
Anglers CP Roost:  It was a decent roost tonight but birds were still coming in after dark.  Fortunately the juvenile Glaucous Gull flew in early at 16.05hrs and J.Law got some great pics, See previous post. The 3rd W Caspian  flew in, from Pugneys,  at 16.37hrs
NB: Pugney Roost had the drake Smew, the 3rd W Caspian and 3 x Yellow-legged Gulls. The ringed adult Mediterranean Gull was looking very sorry for itself.  It hasn't been seen at Wintersett since 26.12.14 per @jonnybirder
Rufforth had an adult Caspian Gull.  A juvenile Iceland Gull was at Upper Poppleton per @YorkBirding
