The Autumn walk sightings on the 24/11/12.

As lots of the fields are flooded as both rivers burst their bank several fields have lots of gulls feeding in them. Also this has been very wide spread throughout the west country of Britian and a 1st winter GREY PHALAROPE has even been sighted in a flooded field by the Yeo estuary in Somerset which is quite rare for the area. I went on the walk when it was raining so small amount of birds were sighted as a result.
