Gareth: I found a Kittiwake (second-winter ? on account of black spots on tertials, extensive grey on nape and dark base to bill) at Dunstall Park this morning, which Dad twitched from home on his way to work. The fourth site record, it was quite mobile, moving between the car parks, lake, central grassland and house roofs (image below). Also present today were an adult Common Gull and two Coot (rare here in winter).

Kevin: Gareth's Kittiwake was a Smestow Valley patch tick for me, but the only birds of note at Netherton Reservoir this afternoon were two Great Crested Grebes (one a new bird) and at least five Dabchicks.

Gareth: 65 species. Kevin: 57 species.
