After lunch I paid Beddington a short visit to have a quick scan through the gulls, picking out two first-winter Caspians and a second-winter which I think I have seen before but was too quick for a photo. Most of the surface of the lakes was frozen again and all of the wildfowl were congregating in one corner of the main lake, including a Wigeon, a few Teal, Shoveler and Gadwall, and the Black Swan. The ice lent a hand with reading darvics, with six Herring Gull codes noted.
