Spent over 6 hours through the week at the Ness, with very little for me to shout about. OK I don't get out of bed as early as in the past. But all the same I am disappointed. Best was a LITTLE GULL flying close in heading North. Mind you I did manage a GREEN SANDPIPER on the rocks and again heading North. Also OYSTERCATCHER all South and on one day a fair selection of COMMON TERN and SANDWICH TERN doing all the same thing. A flock of 5 waders went by unidentified as did some duck. As for way off who can say what they where, but did manage an ID on 3 GANNET with over 87 KITTYWAKE on Monday and by Satuarday it was down to 7. PIED WAG at 4 and CORMORANT 8.
Oulton Broad: Never sure about gulls at time but this I think is a early HERRING GULL (Argentilieas) very pale job to say the least and very crippaled on left leg. Also a LITTLE GULL on far side of broad and EGYPTIAN GOOSE. Had a KINGFISHER on Thuresday here as well and today several LONG TAILED TIT,
