Thurs 24th Aug 23

A quick look in the Dell first thing showed no sign of yesterdays Redstart, in fact it was very quiet.

Heading for the hide was a good idea with rain in the air, things were much the same until a juv. Little Gull dropped in, this cracking little bird stayed for about an hour giving some great views before flying out S/W
