Leath's .H.: There was about 30 TUFTED in here today and some where rather frisky. As where some MALLARD. Mind you there was only one POCHARD amongst several ducks. What was new on there was a pair of EGYPTION GEESE. The best birds was a 1st winter LESSER-BLACK-BACKED-GULL which was showing well in the centre of the lake.
NESS:
CORMORANT (Sinises) flying up and down. On one count I stopped at 395. But this was not all the birds my estimate was in excess of 600 birds in all. They had obviously found something to feed on. They where accompanied by RED-THROATED-DIVER and GULLS. One GANNET put his oar in but did not stay long as he was harried by gulls.
RED-THROATED-DIVER: These birds where moving well of shore with most heading north. As an estimate I would think that in an hour a 120 birds flew by. One or two came in close and settled on the water and one or two could have been another diver as they where very dark.
PURPLE SANSPIPERS: 5 birds still about and a few TURNSTONE keeping them company.
