Newport

Some perhaps unusual numbers. In the last few days gull numbers have been quite low, except Common - today of c100 overall fully 75 were Commons. Yesterday it was 65 out of 75. Birdtrack sees these as red flagged large numbers, as it does a flock of c 20 Lesser Redpolls near the lime kiln.
Otherwise the Barwit is still with us, often roosting with the Curlews, & today a M Goosander upstream from the bridge.Teal numbers are high for here with 65 a couple of days ago - no GW!.
