Iceland Gull at Strathclyde Loch

Following up on a report from yesterday, the first bird I saw at the mouth of the Calder was a Juvenile Iceland Gull. I got distracted by the Goose flock and never saw it again during the 2 hours I was there.

There was a drake Scaup on the loch. It appeared to be more mature than the 1st winter that was present in late December, so could be a different bird.

There is a nice drinking and bathing area at the mouth of the Calder due to the water level being low. I presume it is some kind of maintenance there doing but whatever it is really good at present. The number of Goldeneye have dropped a bit possibly because the water level is lower.

I relocated what I know now to be a juvenile White Fronted Goose that I saw at the end of the year in with the Greylags.

Spent lots of time sifting through the large numbers of Black Headed Gulls for yesterdays reported Med without success.
