Common gull between summer and winter plumage
Several Commons are still in summer plumage
A less windy day but still a strong W>5 blowing with occassion light showers.
The walk home from work at lunch time found several Swallows and Meadow Pipits all heading >S along with 2 Alba Wagtails >W.
Common gull numbers in the park had risen to 26 with most still in summer plumage showing a pure white head whilst some were just starting to show the streaking on their heads as they go into winter plumage. Strangely all the gulls here are full adults.
Still waiting for a Queensbury Med gull which hopefully will appear in the area before DJS poaches it for Mixenden Res.

NOTE !!
No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
