I bumped in to Roy Middleton today and he had had a Great White Egret on Monday (19th) which landed at the lagoon but only stayed for 5 minutes.
A few more gulls today, I counted 280 Lesser Black-backed Gulls at midday, also 7 Common and an adult Yellow-legged Gull again.

It was a miserable start to the day with mist and drizzle which lifted mid-morning. Several parties of Redwing flew west totalling about 130 birds and a similar number of Starling, also at least two Fieldfare which remain scarce.
The 8 Pintail were still on the lagoon but all but 2 Wigeon had departed.
A single Chiffchaff was the only other passerine of note.
More rain forecast for the rest of the week.
