Juvenile Herring Gull impaled on an anglers lure at the fishing boats yesterday, the hook does not appear to be barbed so with luck the lure will come off soon.
1 of 2 Little Stints at the ARC late morning
As it was a very warm still start to the day this morning I had high hopes of a fall of Thrushes and Warblers, by 09.00 it was raining, the wind was blowing and temperature had dropped several degrees.
2 Firecrests and a Goldcrest along with Chiffchaffs and Goldfinches were trapped and ringed at the observatory before the rain sat in. A Yellow-browed Warbler was heard in the trapping area by JS.
Another Yellow-browed Warbler was heard at the ARC Pines by JY and was still calling there late morning when I arrived. The bushes were full of Chiffchaffs and a few Blackcaps and a few Goldcrests.
From Hanson 2 Little Stints, a Black-tailed Godwit, 60+ Golden Plover, the female Long-tailed Duck, 2 adult Yellow-legged Gulls, 4 Mediterranean Gulls and 2 Glossy Ibis.
A Spoonbill dropped into Dengemarsh another Yellow-browed Warbler was at the top of the Long Pits late afternoon per JTM.
