Blowing a gale. The elusive Common Sand viewed distantly in the docks from the view point has pale legs which is concerning - hopefully it will get sorted to get a definate id. 6 Snow Bunts still with us. Offshore slightly more Kitts than recent days but little else. Heading south 9 Wigeon, 3 Shelduck, 2 Pintail, 2 Brent & northwards 19 Brent.
