Great Black-backed Gull, Nuthatch, Redwings

Highlight of this morning was an adult Great Black-back sat out on the water.  I'd seen it from the hide, so decided to walk around to see if I could get a photo, but just as I reached a spot where I could see across, it took off and flew off high towards Blackstone Edge.  A Nuthatch foraged among the leaf litter in Pavilion Wood, and there were a couple of Redwings around; otherwise it was fairly quiet.
