The fifty-odd black-headed gulls blown in on the school playing field across the road this morning prompted me to follow up on the idea of whether or not there's been a crash in the numbers here, perhaps due to avian flu. I record the visits here onto BirdTrack very nearly every day so I've got a decent dataset to work with; I had a look at the weekly peak counts over the past few years.

| Peak count per week 2023 Red line = 100 |

| Peak count per week 2022 Red line = 100 |
 |
| Peak count per week 2021 Red line = 100 |
Looks like I was right: this has been a very lean Autumn.
