27th Jan - rain of course

A band of rain spread through during the morning until early afternoon, 8C, light-breezy southerly.

Shawell; Carl found an Iceland Gull here just before lunch I popped and had a quick look but it had flown, hopefully it will return another day.

A Spotted Sandpiper had been reported not too far away so, with the weather feeling grim I decided to go and have a look for it.  The Spotted Sandpiper is an American wader, that really should be the other side of the Atlantic.  We have a few sighting every year mostly in the autumn,  often a juvenile, as this one is.  I managed to get good views of it  - feeding on worms.
