Yes, its more gulls.
Commons
A good day with nice grey skies and little wind. Slight rain late p.m.
Although conditions looked good very little was moving today other than the usual Foxhill gulls, but much smaller numbers than yesterday , and still several large flocks of Starlings feeding around the village.
More Waxwings for Queensbury with 2 over Brighouse Rd a.m. see NKs blog, and these corresponded with the birds I got yesterday at approximately the same time,0845hrs showing that birds are probably roosting nearby.
No Waxwing reports on the Bradford birds today although I should think they will still be found around the Preston St area ? , dont blame me tomorrow if Im wrong Tracy.
No sign of the small gull today but most of the gull flock was in fields off Old Guy Rd although this bird seemed to kick up little interest.
BS.
