An early afternoon visit to Redcar Tarn whilst her indoors was having her hair done didnt amount to much with every man and his dog there and 2 nuggets with noisy model speed boats screaming around the water.
Plenty BHGs and a few juv LBBs but no sign of the Med gull whilst Pied Wagtail numbers were down probably flushed to the surrounding fields along with the gulls.
A walk around the circumference failed to turn up any migrants.
The highlight of the afternoon was bumping into NKs associates DW and DM on a bird searching mission, hope they were luckier than me.
I may get chance of another quick dabble early evening.
