Wintersett 25.08.13

14°C  hazy and overcast this morning rising to 21°C and sunny with a NW wind.
After the flying start yesterday, a much quieter day was a  let down for the regulars,  especially the two who  were equipped with lounging chairs!  I'll refrain from posting the photos marking the beginning of the end.
Anglers CP   A juvenile Mediterranean Gull flew in to the shallows this afternoon wearing a  white DARVIC ring with 3AAE,  in black, on its left leg.  It also had a metal ring on its right leg.

The Med Gull is from France or Belgium but the reporting site is a bit user unfriendly!
