Info Post
Paul and I did the roost tonight, went as far up as the hide but no sign of the Pacific Diver - we were wondering if it might appear for the 3rd winter in a row!

Light very poor so gull roost difficult, of surprise was the high percentage of Herring Gulls - I would estimate 80% of the c.1,500 birds present (many of these first-winters), with the remainder LBBGs and a handful of GBBGs. Only half a dozen Black-headed Gulls and no Common Gulls. A single adult Yellow-legged Gull was picked out, a couple more possibles but bad light stopped play. Just a single Wigeon, 4 Mallard, 3 Coot and 40+ Canada Geese, along with around 10 Great-crested Grebes.
