Brambling 2 on feeders and Buzzard over garden were the higlights this morning. Met up with Terry for coffee and chat this afternoon at Draycote Water then did roost. Bitterly cold north west wind brought the gulls in a lot closer than normal and this paid off when adult Kumliens Gull was identified off hensborough bank just after 5:30 only 400 yards out giving excellent views in good light while five minutes earlier the third winter Iceland Gull had arrived. Decided to move to sailing club as the Black-headed Gulls were in very close and managed to find 4 adult summer Med Gulls. Other birds noted included Raven 2, Buzzard 2, Great-spotted Woodpecker, Fieldfare 2, Chiffchaff 2, Sand Martin 12 biggen bay, Grey Wagtail inlet, Goldeneye 18, Gadwall 14, Wigeon 100+, Goosander 10 roosted off valve tower and Coal Tit in small copse below hensborough bank.
