Thursday night is official shopping night so it was a trip to Halifax Sainsburys.
Seen from the car park Black Headed gulls were moving >W with 2 groups of 9 and 11 high over Beacon Hill.
Several LBB gulls were soaring very high above the car park, one of which I thought was a raptor until I grabbed the bins out of the car much to Lyndas embarrassment as she disowned me and headed for the store.
As I am typing this a Common gull has just gone past the window >N , looks like dispersion is ready for starting.
A report today at work from an early morning dog walker of 2 Cuckoos calling at Ogden, one from the Giants Tooth area and a second from the direction of Back Lane.
