Gulls over H'den
(Preview)
Was parked up near the Halo on Tuesday about 5pm and watching the return passage of the LBBG's. 100's passed by with 1 confirmed Herring Gull. There may have been 3 other HG's in them but could have looked paler because of the light.

Buzzard seen flying over towards Cribden, Peregrine being mobbed by Jackdaws and Crows. A couple of feathery kills on the ground over the last two weeks so although only seen a couple of times I suspect a Peregrine is pretty much local.
