GORING GAP: Another morning of strong winds so I decided not to walk the fields but instead look at the gulls. Today there was two separate roosts of gulls in the morning. In the Northern fields was 17 Black-headed, 14 Herring, 7 Great Black-backed and 3 Common Gulls. Whilst in the 'normal' roost field was 28 Black-headed, 2 Mediterranean, a Herring and Common Gull. The tide was low and waders are always hard to count accurately when this is the case but there were several Oystercatchers, Sanderlings and Turnstones.
BROOKLANDS PLEASURE PARK: On the lake were 105 Black-headed, 21 Herring and 3 Great Black-backed Gulls, 14 Teal, 14 Coots, 4 Mallard and 2 Mute Swans. Around the bushes there was 2 Chiffchaff including one in song as well as a Green and Great Spotted Woodpecker. GJ
