Firing blanks

Sunday was the 1st day I'd been down and not added to my tally.
A lovely sunny afternoon, no breeze and a bit of a chill in the air, brought loads of dog walkers and families wondering on St Aidens, but all looked in good order for a change, apart from 4 young kids on top of Astley sluice - could have ended in disaster.
The site list added Glaucous gull, a 1st winter was found on the main bay at dusk as was an adult iceland, so I missed 2 year ticks.
I did however find the remnants of what looks like a game bird in the sewage works plantation..... answers on a postcard please.
The most exciting thing today was the utter exasperation of the RSPB, and all of a sudden the looming AGM sounds interesting!
