9th January - cloudy, light SW, 8C

A Glaucous Gull (juv) was found at the local landfill site this morning by Carl (see his blog 'bag a wild one') and I hoped it would be present at the neighbouring Shawell lagoons this afternoon, however it was not re-found.  There were many hundreds of gulls in the area today, but not too many visited the lagoons this afternoon, so a promising Gull watching day was rather disappointing in the end.

Other birds were also rather scarce, Canada Gesse ~40, a single Wigeon,  Tufted Duck and a Mallard pair and a Pied Wagtail were around the lagoons. A couple of Goldcrest were in the bordering hedgerow and local Buzzard put in an appearance.
