Another dose of snow yesterday evening with the temperature finally creeping up above freezing overnight and, best of all, the biting easterly wind has abated. 15 Little Gull just off the beach slowing drifting north were exceptionally close inshore for here. Also on the beach 2 Sanderling and a Ringed Plover plus 7 Turnstone, Redshank & Lapwing on the riverbank. Very murky offshore deterred any meaningful offshore observations.
