Weather

Heavy rain shower early morning, with NE F4 to F6 cool wind, sunny and warm in the sunshine. Few passerines in the area.

I spent the morning and early afternoon on the RSPB reserve watching a distant adult Yellow-legged Gull and three Caspian Gulls from Dennis's Hide. The Caspian ages were an adult, 1st winter and a 2nd calendar year. A flock of 15 Knot appeared and roosted on one of the islands at high tide and five Dunlin were on Burrowes.
