Sunset over Foxhill
A wild and windy Queensbury today with a W>6 gusting 7 around midday with several showers becoming heavy rain by 1900hrs.
A few Common Gulls were in the park at lunch time with their heads to the wind and gripping the pitch so as not to get blown away. Did a scan through them because twice now in previous years Ive found a Kittiwake amongst them in similar conditions.
The super Suts have struck again, this time finding another, or the same ad Med gull at Ogden today and well done on the cracking photos of yesterdays Terns which clearly shows one as a Common and to me, the other as an Arctic, a great find and unusual inland to have two different species of Tern together.
I was told today that they are now letting the water rise again at Ogden but it will be slow as it is also feeding Mixenden.
Arctic Tern is my 100th personnel species tick for Ogden.
