Gulls on the NE shoreline
Some pics for MC to sift through
LBBs and Herrings
Buzzard over high and >NE
Mobbed with Lapwings and Curlews.
A bright clear morning with only 30% cloud cover on a cool W>3.
No surprises this morning wader wise with just the usual Dunlins, Redshanks and Common Sandpipers though a pair of Tufted ducks were new in since yesterday.
Around 50 gulls on the NE shoreline and I was surprised to see the 2 pair of Greylags walk their 9 small goslings through the middle of them and out onto the water. Strangely
the gulls never looked sideways at the chicks which were probably pulling faces at them as they strutted through near to their parents. Maybe the geese are too fierce for the gulls as yesterday one of the Greylags flew at a mountain biker going along the west bank making him pedal a bit faster.
Sky wise just a Raven over >W and a Buzzard over >NE getting plenty stick from the Lapwings and Curlews. This Buzzard looked like a mover rather than a local bird being very high and direct climbing all the time and disappearing away to the >NE.
