Just 30 minutes spare this evening at the Roper Lane watch point viewing SW / W / NW in a gale force SSW>7 gusting 8 with heavy showers.
Surprisingly the sky was rather busy given the conditions with several early returning Black Headed gulls over.
Once again good conditions for Terns but none noted amongst the Black Headeds although very hard to focus in the howling wind.
