Interesting information; wonder if HFFS people actually do any birding at Grafham; I’d not heard about this group.

Colin Addington had a possible Iceland Gull (distantly) from sailing club last night, but it was at last light.
Sunday's WeBS count produced the following highlights; 7 Kittiwakes through east late morning, 3 female Scaup still, Little Ringed Plover, 4 Avocet, Green Sandpiper and still good numbers of Goldeneye around (154).... didn't feel very spring like in the biting easterly though.

Currently listening to a Nightingale; first in the village that I have known in 23 years. Been here at least a week now.
