VALENTINE'S DAY GULL ROOST AT CALVERT

I thought it couldn't happen on these very deep clay pits but for the first time in 14 yrs at least, they froze over!! BBOWT 99% and Sailing lake 75%.

An influx of wildfowl included a drake COMMON GOLDENEYE.

An adult CASPIAN GULL roosted on the ice, as well as the white -winged Herring Gull; also 9 colour-ringed gulls.

c120 European Golden Plover flew over (Tim Watts, Warren Claydon)
