The requirement for a stretch of the legs and some fresh air got me away from my laptop for a short while this afternoon. It was a lovely afternoon and this had obviously perked the Chiffchaff up as it was calling constantly along the river. There was a first winter Herring Gull loafing on the reservoir, which was soon joined by several more and a few Lesser Black-backs and Common Gulls. Herring Gulls really aren't common here but this winter there seem to be more around.
