Redwings, Lapwings, Common Gull

Not too much around today in somewhat duller conditions with a cold wind. However a decent party (maybe 50 or so) Redwings were moving around the Big Hedge and around the back of the fields behind the hide.  From within the hide I saw another group of 30 or so overhead, but these could have been from the same party.

Lots of Lapwings about and a few Teal on the reserve, but little else to report.  Reaching the top of Bib Knowl, a Common Gull flew over, so I tried some flight shots with only limited results.
