2nd Winter Herring gull.
Several Black Headed still showing summer hood.
1500 hrs and a flying visit to Ogden in a strong NW>5 gusting 6 and horizontal sleet and snow.
Only around 50 small gull out on the water along with 4 LBBs and 3 Herrings. A small group of Jackdaws came in briefly, one being very white speckled.
A dash back home as I volunteered to drive daughter Rachel to a venue at Wakefield as she hates motorway driving, so do I now. 2 hours there and 2 hours back for a 30 minute journey. Probably the worst possible time of day with 3 lanes of crawling traffic both on the M62 and M1. Ive never in my life seen as many cars and can,t imagine what it must be like to drive to and from work every day on the motorways it must we horrendous. Makes me realize how lucky I am walking to work. I,ll never moan driving to Halifax again.
