Gann - Dale

Had a look for the Iceland & Little Gull this morning, plenty going on on the river by the footbridge with gulls dropping in to bathe, a large group on the river bank hunkered down out of the near gale force wind. Counted some 15 Meds - one with red colour ring - impossible to read with the wind battering me & rocking the tripod. 3 Shelducks, 15 Ringed Plover, 10 Little Grebes, 7 Goldeneye but not much else. On to Dale where things were much calmer, still no Iceland or Little Gull, lots of LBB`s 5 Kittiwakes, 1 G/C/Grebe, 2 Meds, with more Gulls dropping in as I left, Might be better later....
