Record Numbers

Another great morning with a single male Wigeon on the ice at the southern end of the lake and two Shelduck on the north part. Gull numbers are at an all-time high with 500 Black-headed Gull and 50 Common Gull at the north end of the lake - at least fifty were moving low north over the Pit Tip at dawn with other gulls. Also at Mill Lakes was a large mobile flock of 120 Lesser Redpoll commuting between alders on islands, and around Willow Pools.
