Sat 2nd Oct 21 

Another windy morning but at least it was dry, the bushes were reported as "dead" after RJ's walk through the site and things weren't much better on the scrape, a brief show by the Little Stint late morning was about it, but a good selection of gulls saved the day with seven spieces plus a (graellsii) LBB.
