Water levels high

A late afternoon visit to LFGP and the much risen rivers have pushed the lake levels above the shingle island again, there were no birding highlights but the number of Black Headed Gulls coming over East to West heading for Sonning no doubt, was impressive, a very rough estimate has to be over 10,000. I scoped the steady stream hoping for lucky view of a Med, but no joy.
There were a lot fewer of everything, just 110+ Wigeon, c40 Teal, a handful of Lapwing, but not much else.
On the walk back I waited to view crests, but only saw Goldcrest, Fieldfare were still out in numbers, 80+ to the NE, then about the same number over Sandford West.
