Black-headed Gulls, Longham Lakes, December 9 2011 (Dominic Couzens)
It was a case of almost back to normal at Longham Lakes today: hardly any birders around, but plenty of common birds. However, it is true that the Blue-winged Teal is still here, which makes true normality impossible. Apart from this, just a couple of Ravens reported by visitors was noteworthy.
