Unlike the previous visit much less windy and actually rather warm in sheltered areas. This Goldcrest was very confiding coming to within a couple of feet whilst inspecting underside of leaves for insects.
Returning to Tern Hide and it was full. A guy let me have a peep through his ATX at the Ring-billed Gull and I then retreated to the less claustrophobic mound to scan the gull flock although it only took s few minute for this to fill up. I found a Bewick's coming in which was a nice Hants yeartick for me and I guess everyone else on site as there have been no others this winter - sad when you think for years there was a decent herd of them in the valley.
LGRE turned up and promptly found an Iceland Gull and there were about three each of Mediterranean/Yellow-legged. People drifted away, myself included; getting home it seems the Thayers flew in just minutes after leaving!!
