Wintersett + Gull Roost 25.01.15

A much milder 5°C, with scattered cloud and a light south westerly this morning.
Wintersett Res: Cettii's Warbler 1 and  Water Rail 1.
Moorhouse Lane Ponds: Wood Pigeon 2000
Golf Course Field: Fieldfare 40. 
Anglers CP: The juvenile Glaucous Gull dropped in for a short time at 11.30hrs.  Goosander 28,  Cormorant 21,  Goldeneye 42,  Pochard 44, Shoveler 1 and Pink-footed Goose 1.  
Anglers CP Gull Roost was more than well attended today.  Up to 30 observers crammed  in the hide at one point.  However, it was slow going, with birds facing  head on to the hide in bright sunshine.  The adult Iceland Gull flew in at 14.45hrs and then it was a long wait until a 1st W Yellow-legged Gull was seen at 16.00hrs.  A juvenile Iceland Gull was in at 16.10hrs and the usual adult Yellow-legged Gull came in aggressively at 16.45hrs. Unfortunately, the Glaucous Gull didn't show this afternoon.
