What are we doing here ? Bucketing down with rain most of the morning & when not heaving down it's still raining. The wind has picked up to a fairly strong south-easterly which could be promising - but isn't ! Offshore very little going past with the highlights being a couple of Eiders & Kitts. An adult Yellow-legged Gull put in an appearance along the beach. Very little noted in the bushes but in these conditions it's hardly surprising.
