Tuesday 16th January

Small groups of starlings and gulls on Durdham Down. Most of the Bristol jackdaw population seemed to be at the corner of Ladies Mile and Circular Road. On the mud of the river a large group of gulls were resting. I also saw mallards dabbling around, a mystery small black and white bird flew over the mud below Sea Walls, it seemed too large for a wagtail, but flew a little like one, so maybe was! Two lesser black backed gulls flew down river, low over the mud. Lots of signs of birds pairing up in the mild weather.
