21st May - cloudy, mod, brisk SW, 15C, light rain evening

Another poor Spring day for the weather, we need the warmth and sunshine back.

Shawell lagoons were quiet today, however the Shelduck pair flew in and mating occurred several times.

While travelling past some factories near Dodwells at Hinckley the other day I noticed a flock of gulls around the roofs and thought it possible they may have nests.  Not being able to stop then I informed Carl who lives that way, he took a look today and confirmed at least one Lesser Black-backed Gull was sitting on a nest.  So, if you have factories/warehousing near you and gulls are currently present, check them out for breeding and report them if they are.  I shall have to take a look and see if a photo is possible.
