An evening visit, mainly to count the Black-headed Gulls. Viewing east to Rainham Saltings- 1,476. Most arrived in last hour of day, from the south/south-east, and slowly moved onto Bartlett Spit as darkness fell.
When combined with other counts around the inner basin the previous few nights, an estimated 6,400 Black-heads now using the roost. Around five times the number following the breeding collapse, and an increase of about 40% on the end of July.

I've been told not all comments are publishing. There seems to be a problem between Blogger and Chrome, and I'm being told if you have a problem you should try a different search engine.
All a pain in the proverbial. Sorry! I'm a luddite/technophobe (still won't even have a mobile phone) so much else is beyond me..
If still doesn't work, pls send me a DM/post to my twitter a/c @dunnokev to let me know- thanks! Kev 18/12/21
