Good to see Gary and Paul for the waderfest this morning.

Added a Goosander to Gary’s sightings after he left. Also, gulls increased to c250 including 4 Herring and 3 LBB but no Meds.

Also Gary forgot the Treecreeper which landed in the tree next to the bridge.

Just seen a super picture of an adult Ring Billed Gull at Martin Mere this morning which flew off west.

Pity that wasn’t amongst the gulls which dropped in to Eyes Lane this morning but may be worth bearing in mind when checking gull flocks.

Nice to see the Gary and John this morning, not much to add to Gary's list, apart from 17 Shelduck that I counted walking back to the car.

Ringed Plover (thanks to the eagle eyed John Frankland) Curlew and Black Tailed Godwit take my score to 95
