Little Gull

 I started at Bubwith Ings. The water now reaches the road and a flock of wigeon were close by, so I was hoping to add American wigeon to my year list. Sadly, no joy. There were flocks of wigeon everywhere, some so too far away for me to be able to identify a different bird. North Duffield Carrs was my next venue.

As you can see from the photo, the water levels are very high, and the birds are well scattered. The weather was changeable. Very strong wind, which did not help when I was scanning the wigeon at Bubwith Bridge. Rain, sunshine, rainbows.

One bonus was the little gull flying over the scrape in front of the Geoff Smith hide. I found it difficult to get a decent photo, due to the light and the way it was flying.

I was able to watch the bird for about 3 hours before I left, a pleasant afternoon.
