The quality of the seawatching so far this spring hasn't really demanded a trip right down to the Bill tip and didn't again today although we gave it a whirl as much because there wasn't a lot else going on. Unfortunately the conditions were a tad too elemental to be thoroughly enjoyable...
...but the views of the regulars were way better than when they're viewed from afar at the Obs...
...there were odd hints of things to come like these moving Common Scoter...
...and there were plenty of nice variations of Common Gulls to get amongst now that they're moving in quantity and by the sound of it have a better chance than for many years of being accompanied by a Ring-billed Gull © Martin Cade:
