28th July - some light rain occasionally, cloudy, light SW, warm 18C

This morning both Green and Great-spotted Woodpeckers and Treecreeper were heard in the local wood.

This evening a look at Shawell lagoons revealed a 2w and juvenile Yellow-legged Gull.

A few Sand Martins were flying about, a few Canada, Mallard and Tufted Duck were on the water.

Carl was also present and due to the lack of Gulls we decided to take a look at the nearby landfill site.  There were still plenty of Gulls present, including an adult Yellow-legged Gull, a single Great Black-backed Gull, many Lesser Black-backed and a few Black-headed Gulls.  One LBBG had a juvenile with it that was begging for food still, the adult trying to regurgitate for it.  The adult was colour ringed, J+M and originates from the SW (Gloucester, Bristol region), I wonder where it nested this year.

On the edge of a pool a Green Sandpiper was feeding.
