Wet as f**k

Up early and light breakfast, coffee and paper watching the IOW disappear into the murk. Back to normal with GHWB gone. Too wet to do more than first two hides and no non-avian critters other than a Roe Deer. Two Harriers, a juvenile and the young male for the first time since June. A few pulses of Swifts ahead of rain totalled about 75 with just a few hirundines. Common Sandpiper heard and a Whimbrel arrived from the north. Lots of Common Tern activity still and the odd Med Gull.
Needless to say no pix.
