Wintersett, Saturday

On the Country Park a drake Pintail and a single Pink-footed Goose are new in. The very windy conditions today meant the more sheltered Top Res would likely be the best site for the evening gull roost. This was probably the case with an impressive roost on here but loads of large gulls were coming in at dusk from the Country Park after all the counts had been made and it was too dark to see how many were involved. The following are minimums;- Great Black-backed Gull 325, Lesser Black-backed Gull 7, Herring Gull 1200+, Caspian Gull 1 fourth-winter (last weekends bird), Yellow-legged Gull first-winter, second-winter and third-winter, Mediterranean Gull 1 adult (last weekends bird), Common Gull 1000+.
And the 'scope is fine Thank You.
