Norwegian Black Head

Had a little look round some lakes in Telford in the pretty grim conditions; there weren’t too many Gulls around but the highlight was a Norwegian darvic ringed Black-headed Gull resting on the ice on Horsehay Pool (it was ringed as a chick near Oslo last summer).   Birds on the small area of open water on Priorslee Lake included 16 Great-crested Grebes (with a few pairs starting to display), 19 Pochard, 10 Gadwall and 6 Great Black-backed Gulls with c40 other Gulls.
