Caspian Gull

27 Waxwings on the A2070 Johnsons Corner this morning and at least 4 more on Walland at Midley including the one below.
About to express an opinion on the photographer
 Arriving at The Point TG and DW were already there. Totals  08.30-10.30:
Red-throated Diver:  17E  74w
Gannet: 4 o/s
Brent Goose: 1E
Common Scoter: 2E  32w
Eider: 2W
Teal:  283w
Wigeon: 139w   24 in off
Pintail: 1w
Mallard: 16w
Kittiwake: 40 o/s
Auks: 346E

From the layby at the south end of the ARC 2 Great White Egrets and the juvenile Black-throated Diver could be seen on New Diggings.
 Going through the Gulls at Scotney I came across this near ad Caspian Gull giving good scope views but to distant for good images. A Marsh Harrier and the usual feral geese were seen but little else of note.

Back across Walland the Waxwings were being elusive but still 1000s of winter Thrushes, 2 Common Buzzards a minimum of 3 Merlins and c20 Tree Sparrows.
I saw 10 Waxwings at the Brenzett Green turn off on the A2070 on the way home.
