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.

Gulls Galore
Commons
The black rain clouds make a good background.
With limited time this evening and not long enough to go after DJSs Whinchat it was a dog walk through the fields into Old Guy Rd gull watching. Old Guy Rd itself was quiet due to a cricket match on but I caught up to the gulls in 2 fields between Fleet Lane and Old Guy Rd though very flighty lifting off ever time the bat struck the cricket ball.
The majority were BHGs with several Commons and just 3 big gulls, 2 LBBs and one Herring which was a nice suprise.
Swallows were everwhere over the new cut fields and 8 Swifts were counted throughout the day all >S.
As I type this now at 2015 several LBBs are moving over the house heading >W.
