The gulls are back

Common Gulls returning to Foxhill after the freeze

A bright ,dry but cooler day with clear blue skies, typical after a weekend of rain.
53 Common Gulls were back in Foxhill park at midday along with 7 Black Headed and a single Pied Wagtail. I seem to be struggling getting a Grey Wag on the list this year so far but hopefully the breeding pair near the garage will return shortly.
Very little overhead other than 4 LBBs >NW and 6 Mallard heading towards Station Rd pond. The garden has been heaving with House Sparrows feeding on the Nyjer but still no Tree Sparrow amongst them, still, Ive waited at this house 26 years so a bit longer wont matter. Ive tried several methods of feeding Nyger seed in the garden, some being a complete failure and some doing ok but the method that pleases them most and fetches them in droves is just to throw it on the ground,simple.
Just had it confirmed from DCB , after my visit to Oxenhope yesterday, that the gull roost has broken up since the big freeze and will more than likely remain that way for the rest of the winter.
