NDC - truncated trip!

I DID go...but not for long. It was cold and damp in the hides and as I'm still trying to shake off the 'flu even I decided it wouldn't be prudent to hang around! A touch of common sense creeping in...at last.

Instead I did a "recky" for a special non-bird related event which is coming shortly. More later.

I made it back through Hull before the madness and made my way down Easington straight to see if I could catch up with a local Whooper sighting. Hazy afternoon sunlight...but I DID...

Whooper Swan (P.53, S.29)

An adult ROSS'S GULL is teasing admirers along the Dorset coast at the moment. A special bird indeed. My pal Phil made the trip from Cornwall but was unable to find it this afternoon. He's staying overnight and will hopefully connect in the morning.
