With storm St Jude due to hit tonight, it was already pretty windy on the patch this morning. Maybe it'll blow some seabirds in, but if it does, work will probably prevent me from finding them.
Unlike the weather, however, it was a bit quiet on the bird front; there was one adult YL Gull in with 30 or so LBBGs on Ferry Lane Lake, where 2 Grey Wags flew over and there were at least 9 Little Egrets - including a colour-ringed juv (green ring on right leg with X, red ring on left leg with K - seemingly not a locally ringed bird?). The Silt Lagoon held 2 Redshank, 2 Green Sands and 2 Snipe, whilst water levels were right up on Mons Pool, and bird numbers were right down.
