Birding til dark

Fewer waders on the patch tonight - 7 Curlew, but only 1 Green Sand, and nothing else apart from Lapwing. The best of the wildfowl were 3 Wigeon, whilst juv Common Tern and a Yellow Wag flew through.

I got myself to the new gull roost on Ferry Lane Lake with a bit more time tonight, although it was depressing that not long after 8 it was really already getting too dark. Aside from c.150 Lesser Black-backs again, there were two Herring Gulls (not Yellow-legs), maybe 1000+ BHGs, and a handful of Common Gulls. I left at 8.25pm (really too dark to do anything with the gulls...), with a Little Owl yelping off to the west.
