3rd Dec - mostly cloudy, light northery, 7C

I looked at Shawell lagoons this afternoon, there was 163 Lapwings there, may some more have moved down from the north during the recent cold spell.  Otherwise things were a little quite, four Cormorant were among the few Gulls present.    A Fox strutted along the bank side out of view of the birds.  The only Duck were five Tufted, and the south pool was empty apart for two Little Grebe.

At the nearby landfill site there were a few more Gulls, one Herring Gull type had a Lithuanian colour ring on, found by Carl.  I spotted a Black-headed Gull with a colour ring, as yet to find out where it was ringed.  Carl had seen two Caspian Gulls, but these had departed before my arrival there.
