Predictably deadly quiet with the mornings highlight being the first double figure count of Linnet for the year. Movements were 39 Brents heading out then north, northbound 2 Shelduck, 1 Oyk plus southbound 2 Shelduck & Red-throated Diver. As the birding isn't exactly rivetting plenty of time is being spent trying to read gull rings in the car park which is proving frustrating with partly read Lithuanian, German & British rings on Black-headed Gulls but whenever one chucks some bread out it doesn't take long for a mellee of hungry gulls, corvids & black labradors to hoover up the scraps let alone members of the public driving their cars in and parking in the most inconvenient positions - whatever next, people parking in car parks - how inconsiderate !
