Passing by the paddocks at Place Farm around 7 this morning, I was pleased to see (after a few weeks’ absence) our very own scraggy-tailed Herring Gull amongst around 30 Black-headed Gulls.
Coming back past a few minutes later, these had all moved on – but in flew three Common Gulls and a Lesser Black Backed Gull.
Still plenty of Fieldfares, Redwings and Mipits going over, plus Reed Bunting (a bit rare around the village). No sign of yesterday’s Brambling though.
