The water held a good number of gulls with around 100 small gulls, 75 % being Black Headed plus 9 LBB gulls. Passerine alley was as yesterday, deserted, with just a couple of Chaffinch and 3 Jays.
Looks like this high pressure has taken a lot of the migrants away.
Another poor morning on the vis mig scene with just a few Woodpigeons >S. This is another year with very little vis mig over our area apart from 1 half good Mipit day and 1 Redwing day.
Fieldfares should still be to come although its getting late in the season now which leaves us with just Woodpigs and Starlings.
Most of the Pink Footed geese seem to have by passed us this time and are now in their wintering grounds but hopefully by next month we,ll start getting sightings as they follow their trans pennine route from coast to coast.
A sad day today with a member of my team missing when I had to take little Roo on his last visit to the vets late last night when he lost his fight with a brain tumour. He,ll be missed on my birding trips.
