A scattering of Common Gulls
Mountain underground reservoir
A much quieter night tonight on the gull front with the only grounded birds to be found up in the reservoir fields. Several LBBs were in the sky but the only gulls on the deck were Common and Black Headed. The northern fields around Low lane and Raggalds Floods were deserted, as was Roper Lane.
Several Swallows were moving >S over Bradshaw but no Swifts tonight. A single flighty Wheatear was in the reservoir field amongst the gulls along with 2 Pied Wagtails whilst Linnets chattered on the wires .
Several Goldfinch were on thistles behind the Pineberry and 6 Meadow Pipits flew over >SW.
