Good to see Alison at Rosebush doing her WEBs. 8 Tufted duck was as good as it got here. Llys-y-fran wasn't much better. A pair of Pochard at the top end the pick. Gull-wise a really frustrating roost with just 150 LBB, 80 HG, 50 BH gull on the water at 3:30pm. Gulls would drift in and looked to settle before constantly getting up and going back to the fields. Final counts around 4:30pm were 1500 LBB, 1200 HG, 850 BH gull, 4 Yellow-legged gulls, 4 Common gull and a marauding GBB. The gulls left it very late to come in to roost, with the biggest concentrations up by the hide where bank side cover made it virtually impossible to view or count. 2 Great spotted woodpecker were hammering away on either side of the reservoir. 300+ Canada geese dropped on to the reservoir briefly before going back to the fields and didn't reappear before I left just before 5pm.
