Its a washout

Sundays forecast was correct - and another vile morning with blustery wind and persistent rain scuppered my final available birding day of January.
A lone Dunlin on Astley was the highlight,  but it wasn't a pleasant morning for anything other than the water fowl.
The weather cleared for a fine evening, so the tricky decision was where to watch the gull roost, and I plumped for the hide.
I was greeted by an Oystercatcher which was a bonus to nudge me forward 1 spot and 1 closer to the century.
The gull roost wasn't great and the site was well watched tonight with 4 in the hide & half a dozen or so down at the main bay.
All in all, 95 is an improvement on last year, but only just!
Pleased with what I've found and ticked so far, but with 5 more days of Jan remaining, I'm certain the individual 100 will be reached this week.
