SH found the first Common Tern of the year on West Trout Lake today so I cycled over for a look-unfortunately there was no sign by the time I arrived but I did find an adult and a 1st winter-type Little Gull in situ there. Apart from that a few Chiffchaffs in the trees along the path and a couple of Eygptian Geese was the sum. The less said about the morning's seawatch the better!
A meeting up with the rest of the SOS records comittee on Saturday proposed a few changes to species descriptions required, a work in progress naturally but some productive alterations in the offing, more to follow on this in due course when the changes are finalised.
