Wintersett Gulls 2nd Sept 2014

Numbers have increased sharply, unfortunately I was watching the wrong lake!

With numbers building up nicely on the Park Lake, around a thousand Geese dropped in and flushed most of the gulls to the Top Res. 782 Canadas & 128 Greylags.

A dash to count the Top Res numbers from the lane produced final counts of:-

Lesser Black-backed Gull - 127 on CP & 720 on the Top Res

Yellow-legged Gull - 5 on the CP & 3 on the Top Res (all adults, not much opportunity to look for any younger ones.

Great Black-backed Gull - 1 juv on CP.
