Hard work getting to pond in driving sleet and high winds. Lesser Scaup back in its usual place off the second car park in toft bay showing well and Coal tit amongst the Great Tits on the feeders near hide. Two male Common Scoters were out in centre but moved on when the wind surfers came out and may have gone in to toft bay. Iceland Gull first winter found in roost at 1645hrs and the Glaucous Gull first winter arrived at 1655hrs when it was picked up in flight coming in from a south easterly direction over wind surfing area. Though not fool proof the white winged gulls seem to settle in the centre between A & M bouy from my regular viewing point off hensborough bank. Great-northern Diver came in close off rainbow late afternoon when earlier it had been elusive out in centre. Buzzard 2, Grey Wagtail inlet, Lesser Redpoll 3 toft bay, Stock Dove 40, Lapwing 300 and on leaving there were at least 50+ Magpies going to roost in toft shallows.
