Common Gull
A rainy drizzly day with a slight SW which perked the birds up no end. A scattering of Meadow Pipits went over >S early a.m. with c80 BH gulls also >S but unsure as to whether these were movers or leaving a roost,thats the problem with gulls at this time of year so after August I tend to exclude them from my vis mig count .
Foxhill park at lunchtime held 14 Common Gulls, 3 Pied Wagtails and 4 Meadow Pipits with several Swallows feeding below the trees.
This evening a single Curlew flew high over Foxhill >NW which looked to be heading for TMR.
Great observations today from eagle eyed Dave and Jen Sutcliffe for picking out an ad Med Gull at Ogden in terrible conditions, well done you two and thanks for the call which reminded me that there is life outside of the garage.
