There were black backed gulls, red bill gulls, paradise ducks, starlings, blackbirds, dunnocks (hedge sparrows), oystercatchers and a few pairs of common ducks all with heads down and tails shaking as they gorged themselves. I counted over 200 birds and there were many more in groups around the this playing field.
