I joined Sam and Owen in front the sea watch hide this morning, for a cool but reasonably busy sea watch this morning, 8 Bonxies east up channel in a December sea watch were the definite highlight.

A comparatively small 2nd calendar year Caspian Gull roosting on Burrowes this morning
I made 2 visits to the reserve today, late morning  and early afternoon, on both occasions I never got any further than Dennis's, a great shame as there was certainly more to be seen at the other end of Burrowes, but with no other hides overlooking Burrowes open, also not being prepared to subject myself to todays elements on the viewpoints what ever was there went unseen and unrecorded, or maybe all the visitors who said they would rather have viewpoints were there recording everything, if that was the case they must have walked in as the car park was empty.

An adult Yellow=legged Gull roosting on Burrowes this morning
This afternoon on Burrowes this 1st calendar year Norwegian ringed Great Black-backed Gull was probably the highlight there in the terrible weather conditions.
