Wintersett Res

Excellent birding here again, confirmed by the number of visiting birders over the weekend. The American Wigeon and 'Greenland' White-front continue their residence on the country park lake, both drake Smews and the Black-necked Grebe are on the Top Res and the gull roost in the evening produced a second-winter Iceland Gull, 215 GBBGulls and 950 Herring Gulls.
