Wintersett Res

The American Wigeon is still on the country park lake along with 474 Wigeon and 58 Teal. The Black-necked Grebe and 2 drake Smews are on the Top Res. The evening gull roost was split between the two lakes with most of the large gulls on the park lake and the small gulls on the Top Res; only 42 GBBGulls means the exodus has probably began already but there has been a influx of LBBGulls with at least 30 present. Herring Gull 870 and a 'probable' Herring x Glaucous hybrid, a strange looking first-year bird that had features of both these species.
