There are 100+ gulls in the dock today, mainly Blackheaded with some Blackbacked. I often think there may be an occasional rarity, anonymous amongst the crowd.
There are also around 15 cormorants, 10 coots and 50 mallard ducks.
Both swans were in the lock, close to the bridge, and took to the air as I was walking down. It's amazing to see swans flying past at eye level, and to hear the beating of their wings. They circled over the Albert Edward dock and came down in the dock basin.
Great crested grebe are occasional visitors to the dock, I haven't spotted any for a while.
