Steve Holliday was out today and, whilst getting soaked in the rain, recorded five Goosanders (2 drakes), eleven Great Crested Grebes, two Lesser Black-backed Gulls, a Herring Gull (over south), a Kingfisher and a pair of Bullfinch.

I went out later in the afternoon and picked out a Chiffchaff in with a Long-tailed Tit flock along the river. There were also a few Siskins along the river. Of note there was no gull roost this evening and the few gulls that were around left before dusk.
