Gulls galore

Broomhead Res
The gull roost here pre-dawn held 270 GBBGulls which is a big surprise considering Sheffield birders have been saying how poor it is (or maybe that is a poor count to them). Crossbills were also conspicuous with 5 sightings of 11 birds in the first hour. A mixed flock of 100 Siskins (mainly) and a few Lesser Redpolls also here but the Moor tops were bitterly cold.
Wintersett Res
The gulls here tonight;- GBBGull 359, LBBGull 3, Herring Gull 908, Common Gull 2000, and Black-headed Gull 8000.
