With the continuing obsession for moving Terns it was head for the nearest water, Ogden, at 1600 hrs for 1 hour sky watching.
After finding a quiet spot away from the public, who were everywhere even at that time, it was settle down and watch skyward.
Gulls were plentiful with a continuous flow of LBBs, many settling on the water whilst Herring gulls kept moving.
Unfortunately no terns but a large odd shaped duck went over very high and in the sun getting my ID buds flowing but only a shaped silhouette to go on. I suspected Shelduck and with the wonders of photography this was proved when I got home with just 1 of the photos showing its plumage.
All in all, not a bad weekends local birding
