Caspian Gull again!

 A very poor early morning sea watch, was mercifully cut short when the Polish colour ringed 1w Caspian Gull appeared on the beach in front of me. 

The over night rain had grounded a few migrants, 3 Goldcrests and 2 Song Thrushes that were foraging around the fishing boats. More Goldcrests and 5 more Song Thrushes were flushed from the Broom along with 3 Chiffchaffs. 2 Black Redstarts at Lloyds and another 1 by the research station.

When I got back to my car after photographing the Caspian Gull this Mottled Umber was on the drivers door.

My latest ever Common Whitethroat

Around the trapping area many Goldcrests, 2+ Firecrests, my latest ever Common Whitethroat, a trickle of Siskins and Redpolls. A Long-eared Owl was seen in the area by SG who also saw a Woodlark fly over.

A Great White Egret and 2 Black-necked Grebes were still at the south end of the New Diggings. On Burrowes the 2 red head Smew, Goosander and Goldeneye were still present today.
