Plenty LBB gulls through
Unusual to get Common at this time of year
The resident Tufted on high seas
With a strong WSW>6 blowing after tea I thought it was worth a dabble at Ogden in the hope of moving Terns. No Terns but an interesting number of LBB gulls through stopping off on the choppy water before moving off again >N. Unusual to see a pair of Common gulls at this time of year calling in briefly to freshen up.
Otherwise it was just Mallard and the resident Tufted on the water.
A circuit of the reservoir found very little in the way of passerines in the strong wind other than Robins, Dunnocks, Gt Tits and a brief sighting of a Willow Warbler.

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.
