Another dabble at Leeshaw.

 

                                    Plenty gulls in the fields and water.


A bright sunny morning at Leeshaw with a moderate SW>4 at 6 degrees.
   Gulls were the feature of the morning with around 400 small gulls and several Herring but the bulk of them were just out of sight in a field at the west end of the reservoir. All scoped through for Med and Caspian plus we should be due for an Iceland in the next couple of months.
     Still no wildfowl other than a few Mallard and 14 Greylags whilst a single Heron and Dipper were down in the brook. Otherwise Cormorant, Mistle Thrush, Kestrel, Little Owl and Mipits plus the usual species.
   Back to heavy rain in the morning on a strong SSW at 8 degrees, possibly turning dry after midday.
