Three fields on the outskirts of Worlaby and one on the Carrs contained upwards of 2,000 gulls, very nervous ones.

No birds seen on Read's Island but it was high tide.

Tufted Duck, Coot, Mallard, Greylag, Great-crested and Little Grebe, Yellow Wag and a few gulls, numbers down on usual tally.

Some bench seats have been erected around the lake.

Kind regards
