This mornings start Friday was a discouraging one. I went down to the south end and Shelf Moor where apart from a Pied Wagtail it was all small gulls and Caaawvids.
Almost in desperation I had a crack at Horton Bank CP. There were c40 large gulls, the vast majority being Herring. 2 Common & several BHG. 1 each drake Goosander Grey Heron & Mute Swan. A few Moorhen & a couple of Coot.
On departure I caught sight of a flock of c45 Pink-footed Geese flying low overhead. 🙏😄. They headed in the direction of Clayton.
