One adultand one first year Glaucous Gull and the Lesser Black-backed Gull were still present. The large number and variety of common ducks was augmented by a Male Barrow's Goldeneye. The nests in the Rookery were not being worked on while we were there and we could only see one Cormorant on the Lake (there is a large area near the rookery that cannot be seen well.
