    QE2 + woodhorn patch

    Anyone want to join me, experimenting with taking bird vids in this area? Its slightly unique as it has a stock of semi tame birds inc whopper swan, tree sparrows moorhens etc for example... this bird was 10ft away from me. Camera was struggling to focus! Not really interested in photography...

    little gull concentration

    heya, is there a peak month/week for this? am guessing early august? They roost close to the shore then head off to sea in the day to feed? I might be in yorkshire, about 10th augs, still time to see them ? Havent been to hornsea for years, is this all happening around a sewage outfall?
