1w Caspian Gull on Burrowes
 There are still plenty of Caspian and Yellow-legged Gulls to look at  around the reserve and the usual Starling murmuration and Bitterns at the ARC but not a great deal else, Yesterdays Great Northern Diver appears to have gone. There were 7 Greater White-fronted Geese on Lydd Fields again today, also the Winter Swans are still viewable from Swamp Crossing, hopefully the weather will improve and other areas can be checked out tomorrow.
