Miserable wet day, but at least that meant the roads were quiet. For the first hour not really able to open the hide windows in order to keep dry.

Conditions dropped down about 2500 House Martins and a few Swallows/Sand Martins. Just one Common Sandpiper, no raptors. Walter was loafing about on the north side with seven Little Egrets.

This large carp gad met its end and this gull was making a poor attempt at getting a meal; maybe if it washes up the local foxes may do better.
