Gulls (29th November)

A large increase in the number of Gulls on the field to the east of the A4251 were they have now reached 100+ and are evidently worth scanning for a possible Med. Gull or anything even rarer.  As usual the day was spent mostly indoors, however, a flock of 11+ Redpoll sp. was a welcome surprise, they fed in a large alder tree species, that I viewed from the Chemistry department in the south eastern corner of the school (ID was difficult as I didn't have any bins and the light was poor, so they only go down as probable Redpoll).
