Gull Watch, Leeshaw Reservoir

                                       The watchpoint
                    The speck on the shoreline is 1of 2 LRPs  + 1 RP
                                        3 LBBs  2 Herrings
                                       LBB,                         Herring,             Common
        The problem with photos at Leeshaw are, they are all very distant and out of range.

A visit to Leeshaw Reservoir late afternoon to check the gull situation in the hope of Yellow Legged or Terns which neither happened.
Gulls were livelier than expected with a steady flow throughout the 90 minutes I was there, some landing briefly on the water, others going straight through all >N.
The 2 long staying Little Ringed Plovers were both on the shoreline along with a Ringed Plover and 3 Kestrel.
Common Sandpiper and 1 Redshank were still present but the Oystercatchers seemed to have moved on
