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.
