Back to the gulls, Ogden.

 

                                    Cormorants in the duck corner



                                                Buzzard over put up all the gulls

                                    Lower count of gulls present

                                    Around 40 LBB


                                    Around 10 Herring

                                    Several Common gull

A wet start with rain then drizzle till mid watch then the sky cleared to leave  some sunshine on a moderate to strong W>4 - 5 at 12 degrees.
   A much quieter morning with a low gull count of around 100 mixed and all anchored down from the wind apart from when a Buzzard flew through, high above the water, putting the whole shebang up briefly before they resettled. 
    Just 2 Cormorant present in the duck feeding corner which is an unusual area for them to settle in, whilst the Little Grebe was still present in the north end channels. Warden Chris told me that someone walking round had told him the Little Grebe was a baby Cormorant 😄.
    Very quiet otherwise due to the wind and nothing moving in the sky.
Chance of a wet start early morning then cloudy sunshine throughout the day with slightly less wind on a moderate westerly at 11 degrees.
