The flood is still rising at Wheldrake Ings but the site is still accessible as far as Tower Hide, if you don your waders! Adam and myself waded through the water and then waded through a mesmerising flock of 10,000 Black-headed and Common Gulls, with c10 Great Black-backed and c150 Herring Gulls. As the light faded in parallel with my hope of finding something amongst the horde, I latched on to a smart adult Mediterranean Gull. Always a delight, the bird sported a partial hood and Persil-white wingtips. Five Goosanders came into roost and two Marsh Harriers sailed high south, but otherwise, little of note.
