................loads of seagulls in a dreadful heat-haze. Saw a couple of adult Meds in flight, but the rest impossible in the short time available. Needs someone with really good pair of eyes to grill this lot on incoming tide - the numbers were equivalent to last year at this time

c250 Swallows in the roost tonight but they roosted in the central marsh and only 20 or so were ringed in the western marsh. Two Grasshopper Warlers at least around and Grey Wagtail again heard around the sewage works

Sorry getting a bit scrappy with postings

Fen Wainscot in the office trap this morning
Sunday
At least 6 Med Gulls red nab/outfalls in very brief visit
Saturday
Late afternoon check saw about 13 Meds including 2 x 2CY, 1 x 1CY and including 2P96 and the elusive as regards reading it green -ringed bird
I am having difficulty using a scope for any length of time at the moment which is one reason why the gull counts have been very patchy. New glasses may help resolve some issues but there are long-standing right eye problems and I "cannot"! use a scope with left eye.
