4 Teal
1 Cormorant
9 Great Black-backed Gulls >W (included 7 adults)
1 Common Buzzard in the sleet >NW was a surprise
c60 B H Gulls and c20 Common Gulls.

Ogden
Usual species around the duck feeding area including 1 drake Tufted Duck
Nothing down the sluice area as workmen were down there doing repairs - I was hoping for Kingfisher and maybe Dipper or Grey Wagtail. One for another day !

Good report in bad conditions Dave. Nice count of GBBs and unusual to get a Buzzard up in heavy rain.
