21st and 22nd December

The Gull roost at Chelmarsh on 21^st was busy but there was not much of note with 3 Yellow-legged Gulls (an adult and two 2^nd winters) and a 2^nd winter Common Gull in amongst the hundreds of Lesser Black-backs and Black-headed Gulls.  

                Venus Pool was also busy on 22^nd with a Dunlin in amongst 260+ Lapwings (a slightly unusual mid-winter record) and 13 Pintail the highlights.

A second Windermere ringed Canada Goose was at Venus Pool; this one was ringed the day before the previous one and more than likely came down together
