Oxenhope. pm visit 1430-1630hrs. Cloudy with small breaks of sunshine. Calm.
With the water 50% frozen the gull roost was well down on last weeks count with several gulls leaving after a short stay.
The majority of gulls were Commons with a smaller number of Black Headed. Two LBBs were on the ice and a probable 1st winter Herring but this is still under debate till DCB gets his photos on his vis mig blog.
Two female Goldeneye were dodging the icebergs and the Goosander roost had got to 22 when I left but final figures will again be on Daves vis mig blog.
A single Mistle Thrush was down in the plantation.
