Another text from Bri who has been camped out at Fly Flatts forever ( inspirational )..A juv Yellow Legged Gull on the shoreline , I viewed from the road which was not perfect in the wind but there was only one gull present with massive body and white head , .!! One Kestrel , 1 Meadow Pipit and a stunning young male Sparrowhawk were the only birds of note...
Shibden Park was busy with birds , 40 + House Martin over the lake with a few Swallows mixed in . 30 + Mallard , 15 Coot , and 7 Mute Swan including the very cute Polish Swan which is born white and does not have the brown juvenile plumage.... ( far left on pic) Many thanks to Mick Cunningham for comments on Yellow legged Gull and Polish Swan.....

Glad you got the gull Andy.I,ve only to get out of taking the wife out in the afternoons and doing my jobs on an evening and I can stay up there full time. The YW man up there asked me today if I lived in the car by the water.
