A few goodies on the North Denes

On Thursday 24th September on the North Denes, there were 7 adult winter Mediterranean Gulls on the Link's road North Denes car park, 3 of their number were ringed. One adult Med Gull had a green ring on its right leg with "AKJ2" white lettering on its right leg, the 2nd ad Med Gull had a white ring on its right leg with the black lettering "E861" and the third bird had a small silver ring on its left leg, presumaby it has lost the ring on the right leg? By the bushes just west of the car park, several Greenfinches drank from the car park puddles, a singing Chiff- Chaff (unusual for the autumn!) and a female Stonechat showed well. Finally a calling Redpoll was seen in a flock of 27 flying birds (Greenfinches- 26).
