barn owl, 4am heading over the m66 towards pilsworth tip, first one i have seen in the north of the county.

2 Raven was the best of a rather dissapointing visit, virtually no Gulls to be seen

An imm Iceland Gull was in fields between here and Simister yesterday (12/4) with around 750 large gulls - mainly Lbb - looked like a second winter bird.

Cheers, Simon

What more can I add to that!!!!!

Except-wellies not essential

6/4/2008 - 11.30-1pm massive number of gulls still,

2 1st year ICELAND GULL's, one had a missing primary.
1st year GLAUCOUS GULL (much to the delight of Mr Rigby)
1 Adult Yellow Legged Gull
2 Buzzard over
couldnt pick out any nordic jackdaws

Me and Riggers.

the current tipping is on the right of the road as you drive up the hill from the motorway junction at pilsworth. Like i said viewing is difficult due to large mounds of earth so visiting at weekend would be the better option when there is less working activity

Went up there this morning but not a single large gull to be seen from the perimeter fence - not even any flying over . Wonder if I was in the right place? Anyone got any up to date directions?

Is viewing still from up the bank from the road from the motorway to the industrial units on the left as you drive down?

24/3/2008 Late am 2 1st winter Iceland Gulls & 1st winter Glaucous Gull. Still good numbers of large gulls, viewing difficult from perimeter, wellies essential.
