10/06/21 | Black-headed Gull | Rowneys Predator Lake, Woolhampton GPs | 5 | A E Hickman |
09:30 | 2 ad plus 3 chicks. Nesting on the tern raft with at least 3 pairs of Common Terns. Two of the gull chicks had 'jumped ship' but couldn't get back on the raft as the edge is too steep for them to climb up plus the anti predator mesh fence is buckled over one side of the raft effectively creating an overhang over the edge. I am trying to contact the Estate to see if it's possible to get a boat out there to a) rescue the gull chicks and b) repair the mesh fence to prevent any future tern chicks from going overboard too. | |||
