Comments: A surprisingly good watch given the strength of the wind. There were plenty of gulls about this morning some moving some blogging and at 08.17 a LBB Gull 'intermedius' flew S/W. A flew WP attempted to move S/S/W and Corvids also showed well. Golden Plover again moved to the S. Like yesterday lots of thrushes about and a small number moved W. A GSP came in from the S/E and moved W which was interesting.
