third time i've seen dunlin on this spot. went to twitch the 4 black-necked grebes at binstead in the avo, cant have been a flock bigger than this on the iow? i'd only seen singles before. c.300 herring gulls roosting at ryde but too distant.

3 gadwall at the canoe lake. east winds do seem to be kicking the gulls into gear this time, big final push of hg's at dusk which i couldnt get any purchase on, when conditions are like this i hate being at work.
