What Dull Day

Well it started off sunny and then when I popped into Liden Lagoon it just got duller and duller. Main highlights were the 33 Gadwall (the most I've seen here before was 24 on the 18 Oct 15),  36 Tufted Duck and a Shoveler. That's a lot of ducks.

There were a few Black-headed Gulls about, just over 50 and there were a mix of 9 adult and 1st winter Herring Gulls, plus a couple of Lesser Black-backed Gulls.
