Another wet and windy start to the morning at Ogden then clearing to give light showers and bright sunshine on a moderate W>4 at 14 degrees. Very bad visibility of the gulls from the west bank with the low glaring sun.
A low count of gulls with around 200 mixed but, after a lot of searching through, nothing untoward found. Common gull numbers are now starting to overtake Black Headed and LBB gulls with around 8 Herring gull.
Swallows were heading >W into the wind but nothing on the water other than, the long staying Little Grebe, 3 Cormorant and the usual Mallards. A very quiet mornings birding. Need the water level to partially rise now as the gulls are getting very distant.
Looking like a wet morning and brighter afternoon tomorrow on a light SSW at 12 degrees.
