Links Hill and Gunton Railway track

Dull and cold because of easterly wind. The bird showing well was a bathing KITTYWAKE in the water pools at Links Hill car park. however he was not that intent that he stayed long enough for a picture. There was also a one legged MED GULL with 6 others of various plumage and ages. There was also an obvious numbered increase in COMMON GULL which also made itself evident on the sugar beet field at Gunton. With  about 150 birds in all. Although this seems high it is nothing in comparison with last years count at Benacre. There was also BLACK HEADED and several 100 WOOD PIGEON. but I also had a good view of 3 STOCK DOVE. MAGPIES also gave of there best with one group 7 birds. In total I should imagine there was 14 altogether. I also had 2 REDWING (one pictured below) and also 8 BLACKBIRDS. I also had a singing SONG THRUSH but it was to active to make contact with. On the football filed  I had in the air a JAY which did not hang around and several GREAT and BLUE TIT.
