This aft I had a local birding walkabout and got a good soaking.
Breezy with light showers at first but the showers really got going later on.
Not much happening at all today, but it was reassuring to see the Raggalds Flood with lots of Corporation Pop in it.
2 Kestrel.
Solitary Herring Gull seen in the fields nr. Ned Hill Track.
Herring Gull ,Lesser Black-backed Gull over.
A good number of Gulls, with c10 Mallard in the lower shay fields.
C30 Meadow Pipit seen from Soil Hill and along the field tracks towards Raggalds.
Raggalds Flood had 9 Black Headed Gull and as I chatted with a birder from Shelf, who had stopped in his car, the whole Gull population went up joined by lots more Gulls from neighbouring fields.
They all landed again soon on the water - 55 or so - Black Headed and Common Gulls.
Looking at the photos later, one Common Gulls bill looked interesting for a while, but I think it is a Common Gull.
A speculative photo of Dean Clough chimney revealed ??
Dean Clough pic - highly cropped
The gull (above pic) at the back looked interesting.
But I think it's a Common Gull.
