Another bright clear morning at Leeshaw but an icy cold SW>3 and never getting above 2 degrees.
An uncountable number of gulls today with the water, sky and fields booming with them. Not easy to check today as for some reason they were all very flighty and mobile, continuously moving around between the fields and water but nothing special from the ones I checked through. Again only 2 LBBs present .
A small break off group of 4 Pinkies headed high and >W and just a single Greylag passed overhead along with a Raven. A Kestrel, a Heron and a pair of Pied Wagtail were the only other things of note other than the usual species.
Ogden p.m. had a much lower count of gulls on the water with around 150 small gulls, 14 Herring and a single LBB with no visit from the Iceland gull.
A walk along the west bank produced 10 Redpoll but still no sign of Siskin whilst the Lodge house feeders just held the usual tits, Robin and a Gt Spotted Woodpecker. A single female Chaffinch was present but no Chaffinch roost this winter.
Good to bump into JM on the west bank and then DJS and Jen by the Lodge House, hopefully ,one of these days, they,ll get onto the Iceland gull.
