A blustery morning but the wind dropped this afternoon. An afternoon visit to Skaw produced an elusive Marsh Warbler and a Chiffchaff. A walk around Norwick was proving quiet until I checked the beach where a second calendar year Bonaparte's Gull was present among the Black-headed Gulls - superb! Soon joined by Alister, Mike & Robbie it performed well until early evening when it started to commute to and fro the colony of Black-headed Gulls at Norwick mires but then went missing completely until reappearing along the beach at 10.20pm much to the relief of Logan, Phil & Paul.
