Another hour this afternoon added little to the above. The ARC from Hanson was very quiet apart from a few Chiffchaffs and a couple of reported Sedge Warblers. On Burrowes this afternoon a 2nd cal year Little Gull, some Goldeneye and a Great Northern Diver. From the double bends at Scotney an adult Little Gull was best I could find, then the rain really set in.
