Another morning of strong winds so I decided not to walk the fields at Goring Gap 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 Herringand 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.
Later that morning I headed over to 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.
