12thOct - sunny spells, light showers, light Steady NE, 12C

ASiskin was heard calling as it flew over west first thing, at the top pond a Grey Wagtail was feeding.   We had had a dry couple of months so the ponds have receded a long way exposing plenty of mud for  food.

A look at Shawell lagoons this afternoon produced about a 1000 gulls, the best being a first winter Caspian, several Yellow-legged and Common Gulls. The majority were Lesser Black-backed, with significantly more Herring Gulls present than last weekend.  Great Black-backed were at about the same number.

105 Lapwings were in roosting, single Pied and Grey Wagtails and a couple of Moorhens, duck numbers were low.
