Spent the morning trying, unsuccessfully, to see the sandpiper in the docks (if it is seen later in the day this blog will be updated accordingly). 6 Snow Buntings are along the riverbank & at least 6 Med Gulls are knocking about. Not much else to report although a couple of Linnets were singing early on for the first time this year. The Common Sand again seen late pm but mostly in flight & when it did run around in the open the light was not good.
