2nd March - light cloud, lighter NE breeze, 7C

Shawell sandpit/landfill; 
Thousands of Gulls at the landfill and good exchange with the sandpit.  An Adult Caspian and Yellow-legged Gulls seen.

Teal numbers seemed to have dropped, no doubt some are moving off now. c20 Gadwall, c15 Shoveler, c20 Tufted and c10 Wigeon.

c15 Red Kites.

Lutterworth - Starling Murmuration

The Starling roost has been growing, now c20000, and giving a good murmuration from 1730h until they drop to roost.  Probably in  the bushes along old railway track adjacent to M1.

A Peregrine and Sparrowhawk were actively hunting through the murmuration.
