Misterton; a look here this morning produced the usual woodland species including Nuthatch and Treecreeper.
Cotesbach Landfill; Carl told me he had seen a Iceland Gull here midday, a little later I managed to get there. There was plenty of Gulls feeding on the landfill, but I did not find it, after a while something spooked the Gulls and they all left this area. There was a red Kite in the area, with Meadow Pipits, Skylark and Pied Wagtails in the vicinity.
When the Gulls aren't feeding many rest in the adjacent quarry area, so I went round there to look, Carl was already there and had found a Caspian Gull. Searching through the many Gulls here the Iceland was still not found. A stormy area was moving in fast looking quite unpleasant, so I took a phone photo of the scene and the Gulls before sheltering in the car.
Shawell Lagoons; the next place to check for the Iceland Gull was here, again absent, very few gulls. Present were 2 Snipe, a Grey Heron, c100 Wigeon and 4 Tufted Duck.
