The Breeding Season

As from now until the end of the breeding season birds of a sensitive nature will be omitted from this blog due to a small percentage of undesirables who take their pleasure from egg collecting, nest destroying and the killing and trapping of birds.
Reports of non breeding birds moving through the area will still be published. BS

Gulls Galore, Causeway Foot col

Mostly LBBs







                                                Some Common and BH mixed in


Causeway Foot col 1700-1845hrs Red hot sunshine, yuk again, I hate this weather.
Came back with a face like a Turkeycock and half blinded with trying to look into the sun.
No gulls on Soil Hill but a constant flow all heading directly >W over Fly Flatts.
They were coming over in waves of 10 - 15 birds then a short lull before the next wave.
LBBs were the dominant gull but a few Black Headed and Commons were mixed in with them.
Swifts and Swallows were also piling over >W along with a few House Martins.

293 LBBs
16 BH
9 Common
Several Swallows, Swifts and about 12 House Martin.
