Twenty Curlew flew west during my afternoon gulling session - record shot
The weather looked promising yesterday for a morning sea-watch - overcast with a moderate breeze from the north-west. It was half an hour before I saw anything other than the local gulls loafing on the beach. Unlike the day before there was more of a movement of ducks, mostly Shoveler, and waders including Curlew, Redshank, Bar-tailed Godwit and Oystercatcher. The most surprising thing was only two Mediterranean Gull (nearly 200 during Tuesday). The afternoon gulling session produced nil of note - best bird being an adult Common Gull in the roost.

Common Gull in the roost - there seem to be more summer birds around this year
