A 2cy Caspian gull was the pick of a poor roost tonight, very few gulls had come to the water by the time the light had gone, whether because they've already begun to move to breeding grounds or the draw of the recently slurried fields was proving too much. 3 Yellow-legged gulls (2 adult and a 2cy), 9 Mediterranean gull at least 7 adult and 2 2cy, the LBB/HG hybrid was there tonight. 80 Greylags. 2 Goldeneye (1m). 8 GC grebe with lots of courting behaviour. 2 Little grebe. Most unexpected sight was 8-10 kites heading south at dusk (Paul and I counted 8 and a passer by stopped to ask if we'd seen the 10 kites passing overhead).
