Observation:
Head out as normal through Bath Mill with not alot going on, Top Fields farmer sowing seeds so, many Gulls covering fields with 30+ Black Headed Gulls and 50+ Lesser Black Backed Gull on fields. Probably a few Herring Gull and Common Gull but difficult to see. While watching a group of Skylark flew over, I counted 9. This Buzzard scanning for worms but was constantly harassed by gulls and corvids.
