A quick check on the water last thing on the way home from Shelf Moor in the hope of Scoters, Terns or Waders found just the usual 12 Canadas along with 5 BH gulls and a single Common gull over >W.
The highlight was a Common Sandpiper which called and flew across the north end landing on the muddy shoreline at the NW corner but no time to go round there.
The above flock of birds very high and circling gave me a start thinking Waders or Terns only to get Racing Pigeons in the bins.
