Wintersett + Gull Roost 16.01.16

0-3 degrees, very cold,  frosty and sunny start but clouded over by 10.00 with a light south westerly.
Wintersett Res: New in today were: Shoveler 2 and Teal 1 + 2 ACP.
Anglers CP: Little Grebe 5 + 4 WRes,  Water Rail 1,  Wigeon 237.   Keith Bannister saw a Peregrine fly SE.  The Barn Owl showed at 15.40hrs.
Gull Roosts: The 1st W Caspian Gull was on ACP at 15.55hrs.  A gas gun firing in the back fields made the birds skittish and no further notables were seen here. 
Kev Denny on Wintersett Res had the dark-headed, juvenile Glaucous Gull at 16.20hrs,  closely followed by an adult Yellow-legged Gull,  topped off with a juvenile Iceland Gull at 16.30hrs.
