Saturday
23rd January Strong SW 13C cloudy then rain
Out
towards Sancreed, I arrive there expecting to see lots of gulls in
the fields around Trennack farm. There are none. A few herring gulls
fly over. I wait.
10:30am
a lone gull flies around and lands briefly, very briefly. Then takes
off to fly around and land briefly once more. Hence I get pretty poor
views of the 1st winter ring-billed gull, an American
gull looking rather lost despite the fact that it has been coming to
these same fields for a number of days.
The
day, which had been rather blowy and dry, descends into one of rain
and fog. I decide to bird any copse or woodland on the way back to
Penzance instead of spending the day searching for chough around St
Just and Land's End.
The
Green Year list now stands at 139, fifteen ahead of where I
was at this time last year.
