First Update

January 1st-15th - sightings so far......

A very quiet start to the year.

Highlights so far have included 2 different Iceland Gulls, with one on the 6th (a 1st-winter) and the other on the 12th (an adult), both found by Jono Leadley. I again saw the adult on the 15th, along with a splendid 2nd-winter Caspian Gull. Two Caspian Gulls roosted on 10th (including a beautiful 1st-winter), and several different Med Gulls are regularly being seen in the roost.

Aside from Gulls, there has been little of interest. A little bit of woodland birding on 14th produced a vocal Nuthatch (quite scarce at Grafham), but what is really required, is some nice cold weather.....

.....may be it would dislodge some of those pesky divers from Rutland!

Stats to 15th January:
