A bright start to the morning with Herring gulls moving over >SW from first light with a count of around 53 by 0900 hrs when the move fizzled out.
1 Cormorant went over the garage >NE shortly followed by 9 Golden Plover in the same direction.
A quick check on Raggalds Flood and Pit Lane found 2pr Mallard and several small gulls on the flood and 210 Lapwing on the football pitch along with c200 Starling.
No late afternoon session when a 1300 hrs hospital appointment with Lynda saw us coming home after dark, you can only watch Goldfish swim around a tank for so long before it gets boring.
