6th January






Belated news from Sunday 3rd, a 1st winter Caspain Gull was with the post roost dispersing large gulls that arrive in the park first thing in the morning. It was observed for 3 minutes perched on a post in the lake, before the majority of the gulls flew off to the north-east. It was a really attractive, well marked individual and put the other 1st winter gulls to shame.
