Early afternoon at the puddles despite plenty of bread very few gulls appeared and definitely no Caspian Gull, though DW found one a couple of hours later.
A single Great White Egret on the New Diggings as I drove to Scotney, where nothing of note was found. From the double bends not single to be seen , not even on the islands.
late afternoon on the reserve the Long-eared Owl still on its chosen perch at the back of the dipping pool. From Makepiece 4 red Smew, 3 Marsh Harriers and a Kingfisher of note. Very few gulls came into the roost today and nothing of note among them.
