It threatened rain all day, but the only shower was just after lunch. A fresh west wind.
Only my stuff so far (Malcolm), and I only managed one outing today.
South shore 09:00 - 10:15
I started at the saltmarsh at high water, hoping that there would be a large group of gulls on the mud. But there were just a handful of Black-Headed and Common gulls.

Red Nab wasn't much better!

| Plenty of gulls on Red Nab, but I could only find two Mediterranean gulls |

| Just as I was leaving Red Nab one of the Power Station steam relief valves blew. All the birds lifted, probably after their own relief valves blew! |
