A nice crisp morning so decided to spend an hour on my local beach – waders were hard to connect with – other than Oystercatchers(10), Curlew (20) and Turnstone – did get a brief glimpse of one in flight that might have been a Purple Sandpiper but too fast to be sure – Grey Heron being mobbed, Grey Wagtail showing off but no Grey Plover today. A Little Egret dropped in briefly and the Rock Pipits, Pied Wagtail and Linnets made themselves heard. The highlight was this Adult Winter Med Gull – my second of the year already, and having no ring must be a different bird to the one I saw at Cosmeston
