Common and BH gulls back in the park.
A half decent day but a downer from yesterdays spring like weather. Mild WSW>4 with early drizzle then a day of grey skies.
Common gulls were back in the park with 11 at midday along with 7 Black Headed. Two LBBs flew over >NW in the direction of Oxenhope closely followed by a single Golden Plover very high and in the same direction.
A Skylark could be heard making half an attempt at singing but never getting into full song,this came from the direction of Old Guy Rd.
A pair of Dunnocks are chasing each other about all day by the garage car park conifers and its a contest to see which can sing the loudest, Dunnock v Robin. A Blackbird keeps threatening to sing but hasnt got into the swing of things yet.
Hope everyone has a productive birding weekend.
