Having arrived home in the early hours of the morning with the south west winds gusting to 60 miles an hour in the English Channel I headed for the pond mid-afternoon.
Unfortunately cycling was difficult so only managed as far as rainbow corner but that was enough to see the adult Kittiwake before the heavens opened and I got soaked. Only other birds noted were hundreds of Swifts, 10 Sand Martin, Yellow Wagtail and a Common Sandpiper.
