Wintersett + Gull Roost

0 - 3 degrees,  with blue sky and sunshine and a very cold north westerly.
Anglers CP: 1500 Herring Gulls were on at dawn.   5 noisy Oystercatchers were around the shallows -  two returning pairs +  1 other.  Teal 11.  Cormorant 10.
Wintersett Res: A male Cetti's Warbler was on the west bank.
Wintersett Res Gull Roost:  An adult Yellow-legged Gull was in a 16.55hrs followed by a dread which totally ruined the roost, with birds leaving for Anglers CP.  No notables were found there.
NB: The 2nd W Kumlien's Gull was in the roost at Eccup Reservoir tonight.

    It’s when all the Gulls get spooked by something and all take off & fly around until they resettle
