At first it looked as if yesterday was going to be a one day.
1 Fieldfare, 1 Redwing, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Siskin and then 1 Lesser Redpoll, luckily for the latter it met up with two others that were feeding again in Silver Birch trees by the bank in area 36.

Apart from these there was little else of note, the rail still being hard to see.
Today was again quiet so here are a few gulls to look at.
Even though this Common Gull has a prominent ring on its bill, don’t be fooled into thinking that it is a Ring-billed Gull.

Argentatus Herring Gull (northern European race) larger and different primary pattern. 1st winter Herring Gull (below)
Standing on the edge of the lake in area 9 often produces good views of Stock Doves in flight as they fly between the islands.
