Wknd 17-18 October

Started with the 2nd Big Vis count Saturday morning - a few thrushes moving, plus GSW and my first vis Yellowhammer; full counts on trek; an unringed adult Med Gull amongst the nearest group of gulls feeding on Gosford Sands, tide out.

More vis on Sunday produced fewer thrushes whilst 5 Goosander were a first on vis and 2 Mute Swans went over heading inland. The same adult Med was in the same place foot-paddling in shallows, then while I was watching flew straight over my head and off S inland.
