Queensbury gulls

                                  Crows getting mobbed with gulls

                                    Many more gulls around than yesterday

                                          After the crows bread


A cold day with a strong W>5 and heavy sleet, hail and snow showers from midday with heavy freezing after dark.
Having to use the car for work just now so I can pop home to sort the dogs, poor things sit staring at the door waiting for Lynda, but this gives me chance to check some of the local gull hotspots on the way back at lunch time.

Foxhill was alive with mainly Commons along with a few Black Headeds which were moving between the park and the rugby field. The gulls in the park were going mad mobbing 2 Crows which came in with bread in their beaks.
