1w Glaucous Gull

A lazy start this morning stopping at the south end of the ARC where 3 Red Head Smew, a Great White Egret, 3 Little Egrets, 3 Goldeneye and c300 Gadwall could be seen.

I had no sooner arrived at The Point when a text from SB alerted me to a 1w Glaucous Gull on Burrowes. I arrived minutes later, watching the bird roosting out on the islands in front the Visitor Centre. After a few minutes I was making my way to Dennis's hide, when all the Gulls went up, the 1w Glaucous Gull appeared to fly off towards the ARC Pit and as far as I know was seen again today, maybe tomorrow.

The Willow Trail held c10 Long-tailed Tits and several Water Rails were squealing. From Hanson another Great White Egret, 2+ Marsh Harriers were of note.
This afternoon the field in front of Plodland held c300 Lapwing and c200 Golden Plover of note.
At Scotney 10 Dunlin and a Ruff on the short grass but I was unable to locate the Long-tailed Duck.
As there was no firing on the ranges today I had look at Galloways but was once again disappointed as it was bereft of avian activity.
I went back to the Visitor Centre late afternoon in the hope that the 1w Glaucous Gull may come back in to roost but was disappointed, though the a Black necked grebe could be seen and a Chiffchaff flitted along the bank outside the Visitor Centre. 2 Goosanders were on the ARC from The Screen late afternoon per PT.
