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.

Bank Top C.P.

 

                                   Plenty gulls to sift through
                                                         2nd winter Herrings
                                          1 of 4 ad LBBs
                                         2nd winter Herring           ad LBB
                                             Several Commons present
                                                ad Herring
                                                 1st winter Herrings
                                          1 of 2 Mute Swan , leg ring Y 200. 
                                                  Single Heron

                                                              Always plenty to see at this site.

Thick fog this morning up here in the Gods lasting throughout the day before clearing late afternoon.
A real freezer of a wind though only a W>3 at 1 degree.
                                      Match abandoned this morning in the freezing fog so a trip down to a murky Bank Top C.P. mid p.m. to check the gull situation. Around 150 small gulls along with 4 adult LBBs and 16 Herring, the Herrings being adults, 1st winters and 2nd winters, 3rd winters are a bit hard to come across but can be confused with 2w.
                                       A single male Goosander was present along with 5 females whilst a Heron was on the banking. Otherwise it was down to the resident pair of Mute Swan, Y200 and mate with a steel ring but no plastic, as well as several Coot, Moorhen, Mallards etc but again at this site, no Tufted.
