Later in the morning and again early afternoon 70+ gulls, mainly Black-headed with a few Common Gulls were feeding on flying insects, possibly ants, over the ridge of Shroggs Park. UPDATE - They were still here at 15:30 and after with at least 120 gulls by now - fantastic to watch and Jackdaws joining in the feast.
An Oystercatcher over high, calling like mad, about 18:00 heading >S (not had many of these over the house previously!!)

Very annoying those single call birds, I did the same this morning with a poss flava.......grrrrrrrrrr
Also had a pipit fly over that looked like a Tree pipit but it did not call...........grrr
The B.H.Gulls that feed at Copley Water Treatment works were also feeding on high-flying insects a few hours ago.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw them as swifts !
Nice one on the Whinchats Dave.
