An early evening visit to TMR whilst Im on a run and conditions are good although after a torrential downpour there this evening the skies cleared to blue which is not what I wanted.
It was a different story to yesterday with gulls well down in numbers as well as Lapwing although I was 2 hour later than yesterday and several will have left.
No sign of yesterdays YLH gull, possibly the same bird seen at Ringstone today, and a scope through the BHGs failed to find a Med gull.
A shame that this place is now so under watched given the birds its produced over the years. A few years back there was always 3 or 4 birders in the hide or you would bump into some one along the banking and now its always deserted.
