The cold snap is coming to an end: since December 7th temperatures have been near freezing or just below, with the predominantly north easterlies. However, it's about to get milder again this weekend (and wet) as the winds turn southwards...but just before it does it was one last morning of an iced over car windscreen and an iced over Sandown Canoe Lake; quite a few LBB (six) there lunchtime including this 1cy; however, despite some regular coverage there, the gulls have been a bit disappointing esp. given the recent conducive conditions; feel a bit short changed something like a Caspo or a white winger....will persevere...
