Last week I waded to Wheldrake Ings bridge to do the gull roost, but it was a disaster, with all the gull arse-on way out in front of the unreachable Tower Hide. Yesterday, the floods had dropped a bit exposing a couple of spits of land which attracted many of the arriving large gulls. At least five Caspian Gulls were present, including an adult, but sadly there was no sign of yesterday's Iceland Gull. A smart adult Mediterranean Gull was the pick of the rest, and it was good to see a few 'Northern' Argentatus Herring Gulls too, among the 500 Argenteus types. Three Lesser Black- backs, 20 Great Black-backs and 8 Goosander were also noted.
