Glaucous got! loads to go

I did not make the early start planned for the day, damn chores and chaos for those returning to work. But not yours truly!

Arriving at around 09:30 the lake was quite with just a hand full of larger gulls on the water, and no butty van for hot coffee either, bugger! So rather than run around like a headless chicken I hung around in the wind and rain, 30 mins, 40 mins Yippee thar she blows. like a lot of the larger gulls it just dropped in from a great height and proceeded to splash about having a good clean. The camera was in the car, run? I could have beaten linford Christie!
All set ready steady blast whats wrong? the card was failing to register. But there was no need to panic the Glauc had lifted and was of to the Granville direction high and fast with the others.

After a few expletives! I decided to check the Flash, you know out of desperation more than anything else.
And like old mother hubbards,
it was bare. a nice groups of 28 Goosander (7males) and it rained again real rain as well! so I put a few in the bag and gave up for the day, after re-checking Priorslee, pf course. This time it was getting really full Know I do not know if this was the Lightmoor or Granville crew but there was loads and it was scanned very carefully 3 times just in case!!! but no so try again in the morning.

Flip
Flap
and a bad hair day!

Oh did I say it rained???
So lets see what tomorrow brings??
