A gull, some wildfowl and a diver

I got to Cotham Landfill on Saturday a bit later than planned, and had already missed the mornings waste arrivals; there were few gulls around, but one of them happened to be the juv Glaucous Gull, so it wasn't a complete washout. 

Glauc, into the sun as usual

On to Girton, and the 7 Eurasian White-fronts, 2 redhead Smew and juv GND were all present and correct on the Sailing Lake - not a bad haul. Spalford Pit held a whopping 28 Shelduck, plus a Dunlin amongst the Lapwings.

Today, and a session at Meering produced 3 Goosander, but little else, perhaps not helped by a gang of guys with spades and dogs (rabbiting). A brief look at Ferry Lane Lake was similarly unspectacular.
