More Gulls!

The Long-eared Owl was back in it's usual  spot behind the dipping pool yesterday, but alas no sign today, hopefully it will return.

While Gull watching on Burrowes from Firth hide yesterday 8 Goosanders made a brief appearance, despite a reasonable number of Gulls being present only a single 3rd calender year Caspian Gull was located.

This morning a quick look around Walland Marsh found no wild Swans or Geese, however later in the morning 6 Bewick Swans including 3 juveniles flew over the reserve. A minimum of 5 Caspian Gulls were located on Burrowes this morning, also an adult Yellow-legged Gull there. Other birds included c100 Dunlin, 34 Black-tailed Godwits, 2 Goldeneye and the usual wildfowl. At least 2 Chiffchaffs around as well as 2+ Kingfishers per PB. Several Great White Egrets could be seen around the reserve.

I've spent quite a bit of time trying to master the vagaries of Macintosh after investing in an Imac at the weekend having had enough of the nightmare of windows 10. I have at last managed to get images on to blogger, though it was through a somewhat tortuous route of creative cloud. If there any mac users out there who know easier ways of posting images on blogger I'd love to hear from you.
